This is a reminder that the U.S. EPA, Water Boards, and Sacramento State Environmental Finance Center are co-sponsoring a pair of free, one-day forums to discuss municipal stormwater finance issues, sources, and strategies. The first forum is in Alhambra, near LA, on April 3rd. The second forum is in Oakland on April 5th. We want to invite everyone who wants to learn about these issues and share their views on how to address stormwater finance to register and join us. Refreshments and lunch will be provided.
Here’s some basic information about the forums and links to the registration website:

- Practical advice on developing stormwater program finance plans and budgets
- Strategies for overcoming barriers to stormwater funding
- Introduction to available public and private funding sources for capital and O&M needs
