The Blueprint for Community-Based Partnerships: Clean Water Partnership

Team CIS’s work with Prince George’s County, MD was recently highlighted by Waterloop. This episode explores the process and accomplishments of this “first of its kind” innovative 33-year community-based partnership (CBP), the Clean Water Partnership (CWP) between the Prince George’s County and CIS. 

With over $300 Million spent to build over 425 projects through July 2024, CWP is one of America’s largest green stormwater infrastructure programs. 

Of the money spent, over $240 Million has been spent with local and minority businesses, and CIS has mentored 63 small, local businesses. Over fifty percent of the work has been completed by county residents, and nearly 540 community engagement events have been hosted.
