The Centerville Creek Restoration Project was completed through the development of a number of key partnerships that included the Village of Cleveland, the Lakeshore Natural Resource Partnership (LNRP), UW-Madison, and UW-Manitowoc. The Village of Cleveland engaged LNRP to first complete an assessment that could provide a range of options for the restoration of Centerville Creek in the project area defined by the millpond. LNRP led the effort to bring community perspectives into the project framework, initiate discussions with potential funding sources, design and implement a restoration strategy, and commit to a long-term maintenance plan that would ensure returns on these investments.

Funding for this phase of the project came from a variety of sources including Sustain Our Great Lakes, Healing Our Waters, Fund for Lake Michigan, and the Brico Fund.
