Washington, D.C. Offers Rebates for Property Managers

Washington D.C.'s Department of the Environment and the Anacostia Watershed Society recently launched two new rebate programs to assist property managers in improving their stormwater management practices, in some cases covering up to 100% of the costs.
The RiverSmart Communities initiative provides rebates for properties investing in sustainable stormwater management solutions that may include permeable pavements, cisterns, bioretention, or Low Impact Development practices; while the Green Roof Rebate program provides refunds for installing green roofs.
