In a <a href=\"http:\/\/phillywatersheds.org\/private-pennies-financing-gsi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">previous blog post<\/a>, we discussed a spike in interest in private funding for new green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) tools. Now the 87 page report provides an in-depth analysis of ways to engage the private sector in green infrastructure investments.<\/p>\n<p>The NatLab consortium including the Natural Resources Defense Council, The Nature Conservancy and the investment firm EKO Asset Management Partners, collaborated with the Philadelphia Water Department on the report given the city\u2019s status as a national leader in implementing green stormwater infrastructure. Although the recommendations focus on Philadelphia\u2019s Green City, Clean Waters plan, the information will be useful for cities across the country.<\/p>\n<p>Engaging the private sector is critical for the successful implementation of Green City, Clean Waters.
