Grant School - Before Redevelopment

Grant School is located in the Kinnickinnic River Watershed and the city's Combined Sewer System. In 2025, Grant was awarded a schoolyard redevelopment planning grant to develop a common vision for a greener, healthier schoolyard. The school and surrounding neighborhood community worked collaboratively with support from project partners to develop a conceptual plan that includes new green spaces that manage stormwater, provide improved recreation and education opportunities, and inspire students to take care of the environment.

The school is actively fundraising to help transform their conceptual plan into reality through December 2026.
