Topic: "Memphis Stormwater Quantity and Quality Program (MSQ2)"

Registration: CLICK HERE!

The Memphis Stormwater Quantity and Quality (aka MSQ2) program is tasked with the implementation of stormwater capital improvement projects within the City of Memphis. Created in 2020, the program has taken suggestions from the City’s Drainage Masterplan Study program (initialized in 2014), citizen concerns, maintenance requests, and computer modeling to identify, prioritize, and optimize projects that address flooding issues throughout the City. With approval and input from City of Memphis decision makers, the program works with design firms to prepare and deliver the projects for construction. As the program finishes its 6th year, over 400 projects have been identified and evaluated, with over 50 that have advanced to design and construction. Projects are prioritized based on their impact to citizens and critical infrastructure using a prioritization matrix that provides for equitable comparison of the risk reduction provided. Other portions of the program include a condition assessment and mapping program of all City-maintained drainage infrastructure as well as the pursuit of alternative funding opportunities to fund program activities or construction projects. This presentation will provide the current status of the Memphis Stormwater Program with more detailed information provided for selected projects.

Please RSVP by June 9, 2026, so we can get an accurate head count for lunch.
