East Side Community Benefit Opportunity (CBO) grant recipients In October 2007, the Bureau of Environmental Services (BES) awarded $1.77 million to 22 local organizations to create community projects in neighborhoods and business districts affected by combined sewer (CSO) construction of the East Side Big Pipe and related projects. In February 2007, BES received 38 proposals that would cost more than $7 million. A citizen advisory committee with representatives from neighborhood and business associations, environmental groups and citizens from impacted areas, evaluated the proposals.
