We hear an awful lot about how environmental regulations negatively impact our economy…but what if the opposite is true? From a property or city perspective, spending a little bit to address any issues before they arise results in big savings. Consider that for every $1 spent on stormwater system maintenance & mitigation, $4 are saved in damages. So, for example, if every commercial building owner spent $500 on annual maintenance & mitigation, that means that, collectively, you save $11.2B in repairs and fines associated with flooding and property damage. That is not insignificant.
