Interesting article from HometownAnnapolis.com.
The concerns raised in and around Annapolis are common to the country as a whole. As with everything, it all comes back to money. We all understand the need for infrastructure – but we seem to value difference types of infrastructure differently. For example, everyone sees the need for modern, safe bridges because we all drive over them every day. However, how often do we notice, or even see, the infrastructure that cleans stormwater runoff? Is one more inherently valuable that the other? We certainly have to prioritize infrastructure improvements so that our elected officials can budget and fund them. There’s little question that more education is needed on the importance on stormwater infrastructure and the real impact (I’m talking financial impacts) that stormwater pollution has on our communities.
