The Lakeshore Natural Resource Partnership and Water365 are partnering with American Rivers, WaterNow Alliance, and OneWater Econ to produce a series of workshops for Wisconsin communities. Join the team for three sessions exploring incentives and financing options capable of supporting green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) programs and other coastal resilience strategies in small and mid-sized cities.
A series of workshops are aimed to provide municipal leaders and water resource managers with practical knowledge about approaches to funding climate resiliency initiatives. The workshops will cover topics on debt-financing, incentivizing private-property GSI implementation, and accessing state and federal programs such as the Clean Water State Revolving Funds (CWSRFs), and more! Participating communities will be encouraged to develop funding or financing strategies linked to current priority projects as well as future community needs.
