6th Annual Excellence in GSI Awards

The Excellence in GSI Award is the region’s only award ceremony recognizing the projects and people that bring the triple bottom line (environmental, social, and economic) benefits of green stormwater infrastructure to life. The ceremony also celebrates all of the project partners that make them possible.

Join us on Thursday, April 21, at 6 pm, along with the region’s industry professionals, developers and property owners, government and non-profit institutions, and academics to acknowledge and celebrate the region’s excellence in green stormwater infrastructure. Awards will be given to projects in the following categories: Public Projects and Private Projects. Philadelphia City Councilmember-At-Large Katherine Gilmore Richardson is the recipient of this year’s GSI Champion award, recognizing and celebrating her contributions to advancing the region’s green stormwater infrastructure industry.
