Stormwater Financing Case Story: Blair County, PA

In collaboration with the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay and American Rivers, EFC worked to accelerate the implementation of green infrastructure in Blair County, PA and to continue the development of regional stormwater management opportunities.  EFC worked closely with Blair County Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Workgroup partners to identify opportunities to incorporate green infrastructure practices into long-term planning, and to develop a supporting financing strategy focused on improving efficiencies and reducing costs through a regional approach. The final report included a set of recommendations for the MS4 Workgroup to help create a cost-effective, collaborative program for addressing the County’s urban stormwater  management and water quality goals.
