Model Development & Floodplain Ordinances Workshop

This effort is part of the integrating Transportation and Stormwater Infrastructure (TSI) Project that seeks to reduce future flood risk through the integration of transportation, environmental, and stormwater planning. The purpose of this workshop was to review green stormwater infrastructure, nature-based solutions, and enhanced floodplain standards across the region, assess what’s working, and explore strategies to improve the effectiveness and ease of implementation through model development code/floodplain ordinances.
