EPA has released a new report, Enhancing Sustainable Communities with Green Infrastructure, to help communities develop a vision and a plan for green infrastructure that can transform their neighborhoods and bring multiple benefits.

Summit attendees had the chance to see several great examples of green infrastructure projects, including the sewer district’s investments in the Kinsman neighborhood on Cleveland’s east side.
