Mill Creek Watershed Initiative

In December 2007, the Mill Creek Watershed Initiative began with the desire to develop a strategy that integrated land use, watershed health, and community priorities. This strategy emphasized four themes:

Economic Development
Health and Wellness through Nature
Educational Advancement through Outdoor Learning
Storm Water Management through Natural Ecological Functions

The nine municipalities in the watershed, along with private sector institutions, governmental and non-profit agencies organized to advise the process and develop a comprehensive plan.

The Mill Creek Initiative Draft Plan is a set of initial, basic recommended actions on which there is strong consensus among partnership participants. This plan will be used to:

Unite the communities' leadership and citizenry around specific projects as well as the broader, framework vision
Drive collaboration and support of project implementation throughout the watershed and,
Strengthen opportunities for securing funding for projects now and in the future.
