This report provides guidance on key strategies that cities can deploy to attract private capital to green infrastructure development. Local municipalities and state government can potentially drive billions of dollars of private investment to modernize broken, aging stormwater systems and keep stormwater pollution out of waterways. Natural infrastructure—such as porous pavement, green roofs, parks, roadside plantings and rain barrels—addresses stormwater pollution by capturing rain on or near where it falls. The report was produced by the NatLab Consortium—a partnership consisting of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), The Nature Conservancy, and sustainable asset management firm EKO Asset Management Partners.
