SMART WATER PLANNING FOR THE 71-MILE HIGH LINE CANAL 
A grant through the Pisces Foundation will propel planning and implementation of the High Line Canal into an inspiring model of urban infrastructure.
 
Summary:
The High Line Canal Conservancy (Conservancy), with the support and expertise of its partners, Denver Water, The Greenway Foundation's Water Connection initiative and Urban Drainage and Flood Control District, recently received a $125,000 grant through the Pisces Foundation, which seeks to accelerate to a world where people and nature thrive together. The project also has been generously supported by The JPB Foundation through the Funders’ Network for Smart Growth and Livable Communities, an administrative partner in issuing and managing this grant.
​
This grant will help the Conservancy and its partners plan for and implement a transformation of the Canal into an inspiring model of urban infrastructure reuse and smart water planning. With stormwater infrastructure planning already underway, this funding will help realize the benefits of integrated stormwater and urban watershed management for the ecological, physical and social health of our community and its rivers and streams.
