Driving Investment in Green Infrastructure

Driving Faster, Bigger Adoption of Green Infrastructure

EPIC’s Green Infrastructure (GI) initiative supports communities that have historically lacked the resources to develop and implement nature-based projects by accelerating access to financing, technical assistance, and program setup.

What Drives Us

We work to accelerate the adoption of green infrastructure by advancing economic models that deliver resilient, cost-effective solutions, benefitting both the communities they serve and the governments that steward them.

Why It Matters

There is an untapped landscape of opportunity, especially for small and midsize municipalities, to leverage economically sustainable stormwater infrastructure programs. Accelerating these nature-based solutions helps support more resilient environmental and public health futures for all.

Our Process

With more than a decade of experience designing and supporting stormwater programs nationwide, we help governments and communities accelerate the pace and scale of green infrastructure adoption. Acting as trusted advisors, we assess local needs, build coalitions, and connect partners to financing models, incentive-based partnerships, and innovative economic strategies that make resilient, cost-effective solutions possible.

Our work bridges federal, state, regional, and local efforts. We operate with a national perspective while staying rooted in hyper-local needs—particularly for under-resourced, small, and midsized municipalities. We help states and communities access low- or no-interest loans and grants, streamline procurement, and develop innovative contracting models that ease agency burdens and expand implementation capacity.

In close collaboration with EPIC’s Restoration team, we are advancing practical, scalable solutions that strengthen infrastructure, unlock resources, and deliver lasting community benefits.

Our work on conservation finance laws in Maryland illustrates policies that could scale these strategies nationwide, advancing resilient environmental and public health outcomes.
