With support from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF), the EFC worked with a team led by the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay and including American Rivers to accelerate the implementation of green infrastructure in Blair County’s watersheds and continue the development of regional stormwater management opportunities. The EFC’s role was to work closely with the Blair County Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Workgroup partners to identify opportunities to incorporate green infrastructure practices into long-term planning, as well as develop a supporting financing strategy that looks to improve efficiencies and reduce costs through a regional approach. The final report resulted in a set of financing recommendations for the MS4 Workgroup that created a cost-effective, collaborative program for addressing the County’s urban stormwater management and water quality goals. Please see Blair County's financing case study below, or visit EFC's website for more information, including access to the full project report.
