THE POINT’s South Bronx Community Green Roof reflects the organizations’ programmatic commitment to sustainable development. Featuring an extensive green roof and smaller intensive green roof that will function as a demonstration area and outdoor classroom, the project will help reduce stormwater outfalls and improve water quality and river ecology along the Bronx River while helping to educate the community about low impact development strategies.
THE POINT’s South Bronx Community Green Roof was supported with funding from the New York State Office of the Attorney General and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’s Office of Environmental Justice.
