How We Work

Great Rivers Greenway operates within a unique, complex, innovative and always-evolving collaborative model. The original concept for our agency was to build the greenways and to have the landowners and municipal or institutional partners operate and maintain them day to day. In a region with 3 counties and about 120 towns, this is complicated. Partners have a wide range of budgets, capacity, knowledge, equipment and laws. Over the last 15 years, we’ve heard from the community that it’s not enough to just build, we need to promote and sustain the greenways, too.
