Sensible Financing for Green Stormwater Infrastructure: Finding the Best Money for Communities (excerpt)
By: Seth Brown, Founder of Storm and Stream Solutions, and THG Senior Advisor for Stormwater/Green Infrastructure, Public-Private Partnerships, & Economics
A common complaint heard from municipalities regarding needed wet weather investments is the regulations are requiring them to implement more stormwater infrastructure than they can afford. The premise of this complaint is that: a) stormwater runoff is a burden, and b) investments in stormwater infrastructure are only (or at least primarily) driven by regulations. These views reflect a mindset that is inherently self-limiting and non-aspirational. In other words, community leaders with this vision (or lack thereof) create a self-fulfilling prophecy that reinforces these negative views regarding funding and financing for stormwater infrastructure. But there is another way to consider these investments.

In many cases, this economic challenge is existential for our nation’s smaller cities and towns.
