The City of Dayton’s (Ohio) Urban Agriculture Grant Program, launched in 2012, is an innovative initiative that merges stormwater management with community empowerment. Coordinated by the Water Department and the Community Engagement umbrella of the City’s Planning, Neighborhoods, and Development Department, the program provides urban growers with the opportunity to use finished Dayton Water and collected rainwater to support gardens that deliver environmental and community benefits. These efforts help restore biodiversity, increase green space, and address food insecurity across the city.
