<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">The Climate Resilience &amp; Stormwater Management Workshop Series is a practical, hands-on sequence of events aimed at helping Rhode Island municipalities move from successful grant writing toward sustainable financing
 of climate resilience and stormwater management projects. Workshop 1 is focused on preparing municipalities for success in grant writing and will emphasize the constructive exchange of ideas between municipal participants, grant agencies, and the SNEP Network.
 Participants will come away from Workshop 1 having contributed their unique perspectives, having been inspired by stories of success from other municipalities, and with a take-away list of funding opportunities for 2020.<br>
