Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The renovations involve replacing pavement with permeable material, which is designed to reduce stormwater runoff. This infrastructure investment is expected to avert approximately 400,000 gallons of stormwater from entering the bay each year and help decrease flooding during heavy rain.
