This WRRC Water Webinar will describe how the Town of Superior and associated stakeholders have used the Coleman Alley Green Stormwater Infrastructure Project to help develop partnerships and address water issues on Queen Creek near the Town of Superior. Panelists will provide a brief history of watershed restoration work efforts for Queen Creek, how this group of partners won funding for this Green Stormwater Infrastructure Pilot Project, and the status of project implementation. Partner presentations will provide perspectives on how stakeholder (e.g., community, agencies, NGO) interests were incorporated into planning, highlighting the co-benefits of this project for water conservation, flood control, and climate change mitigation. The presentation will conclude with a brief description of how this project has helped build a foundation for future successes, including recent funding awards that will advance Queen Creek Restoration Planning efforts.
