Resources – For Developers
Integrating Low Impact Development (LID) approaches into your project’s stormwater management features is an economically and environmentally advantageous alternative to traditional stormwater management practices. As part of an MS4 Municipal Assistance Grant from MassDEP, we created a fact sheet and toolkit for developers to learn more about LID project across Massachusetts. More on these projects can be found on our LID and Green Infrastructure Viewer.
