Green Infrastructure: Addressing Boston’s Stormwater Woes

Our upcoming GRCx will highlight stormwater management challenges facing Boston and explore the potential for green infrastructure opportunities, which offer a cost-effective solution to many of Boston’s water woes including how to handle flooding and stormwater pollution. An expert panel will provide an overview of EPA’s Region 1 recently updated regulations for stormwater management; Boston’s proposed integrated green infrastructure approach; and more. Stay tuned for additional details for the GRCx slated for January 2023.
