Free workshop on financing stormwater management

 

The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection is offering a free workshop called Financing Your Stormwater Management Program for elected officials and personnel who work with municipal stormwater management.
The workshop takes place Tuesday, July 9 from 8:30 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. at the Barboursville Community Center, located at 721 Central Ave. Barboursville.
The workshop will inform participants about the value and benefits of investing in stormwater management and will benefit communities that are struggling to finance their programs.
