Description

Green infrastructure can be discouraged or even prohibited by outdated, poorly worded or ambiguous codes and ordinances. Cooperation among county and municipal staff in zoning, land use, urban forestry, stormwater and engineering are key to evaluating barriers to green infrastructure in our communities. With our partners, we developed a workbook that will help communities review, revise and prioritize their local codes and ordinances to promote and advance green infrastructure implementation.
