Green infrastructure is often seen as a “nice to have” bonus part of a project or as a strategy to manage stormwater that is only available to larger, urban utilities. But a growing number of smaller more rural communities are busting this myth. These communities are successfully integrating green infrastructure into their projects to improve quality, reduce localized flooding, and achieve ecological benefits.
This webinar showcased Lancaster, PA, Harrisburg, PA, and Caledon, ON as leading examples of smaller communities relying on green infrastructure to help meet their stormwater challenges. Representatives from these communities explain how their green infrastructure programs work and share their successes and lessons learned. The program also discusses how other communities inspired by these examples can access technical assistance to prepare and apply for funding for green infrastructure projects.
