Greenville officials met with representatives of the National Audubon Society and Stantec to discuss potential investments, partnerships and funding for nature-based solutions in the city and the Mississippi Delta.

The discussions focused on projects that could improve drainage, reduce flooding, strengthen infrastructure, protect natural resources, expand recreational opportunities and support sustainable economic development.

Mayor Errick D. Simmons said Greenville is advancing more than $50 million in flood resilience investments and hopes to leverage additional resources and build regional partnerships to turn environmental challenges into economic opportunities.

Simmons said the city’s goals include protecting the environment, strengthening communities, attracting investment and improving residents’ quality of life.
