April 24, 2025 | Session 5 | Funding Green Infrastructure

Description: In order to implement green infrastructure, obtaining and effectively managing funding is essential. In this webinar, you will learn about some key funding sources for green infrastructure at both the federal and state levels. Federal funding includes the Section 319-grant program and the New EPA Grant OSG Program (Sewer Overflow and Stormwater Reuse Municipal Grant Program). At the state level, funding opportunities include the Clean Water State Revolving Fund, as well as other state-specific incentives. Building on the co-benefits analysis method explored in Webinar 3, we will revisit how to leverage the multiple benefits of green infrastructure to obtain funding. Finally, this webinar will explore methods for funding the longevity and sustainability of GI planning for the entire infrastructure lifecycle, including, importantly, operations and maintenance.

Learning Objectives:

  • Learn about funding opportunities at the federal and state level and identify the best fit for your specific project.
  • Understand the concepts of benefit analysis and triple bottom line comparisons in the context of Green Infrastructure.
  • Review the Infrastructure Lifecycle and how to achieve sustainability in Green Infrastructure planning.
