“The CSPDC is assisting the University of Maryland's
Environmental Finance Center (EFC) in
hosting a workshop in the region that will provide information and resources
for financing effective stormwater management programs. The goal of the workshop is to build capacity
in the Shenandoah Valley for implementing effective programs to protect and
improve the quality of water in local streams, such as Blacks Run in
Harrisonburg, the South River in Waynesboro, Lewis Creek in Staunton, the Maury
River in Buena Vista, and others.
The workshop will cover topics relevant to both the Virginia
Stormwater Management Program, which regulates post-construction stormwater
runoff from construction sites, as well as financing strategies for localities
that operate Municipal Separate Stormwater Sewer Systems (MS4). EFC and other experts will speak on topics
ranging from assessment tools to innovative marketing strategies.
In addition, this workshop will provide a unique opportunity
for municipalities to share successes, challenges, and ideas for implementing
successful stormwater programs. The
workshop is funded by the Chesapeake Funders Network. It will be held at James Madison University's
Festival Conference Center on May 22nd from 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. ”
