Project Advisory Committee

The Project Advisory Board is a team of senior leaders at OPPD who oversee and review the project recommendations provided by the Project Review Committee.

They ensure each recommended project has been scored accurately and aligns with OPPD’s core values.

Greener Together Community Voting

All Greener Together customers have the opportunity to vote on recommended projects. The top-ranked projects will then move onto the final round of voting.

Final Project
Selection

Gold and Emerald Greener Together customers vote on final projects to determine which project(s) will be funded by Greener Together.

Depending on voting results and available funding, more than 1 project may be selected!

 

Project Scoring

The project review committee looks at three main categories when scoring projects; environmental impact, community benefit, and project viability.

 

Community
Benefit:

How projects positively impact socio-economic factors in our community.

 

Project
Viability:

The likelihood of successful and timely project development and implementation.

 

Environmental
Impact:

How the projects positively impact environmental resources through reduction, conservation and preservation.
