Webinar: Approaches for Advancing Great Lakes Water Infrastructure

July 21, 2022 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

Please join the Great Lakes Commission (GLC) for a webinar on July 21, 2022, from 11:00am to 12:00pm EDT. During this webinar, GLC staff will present its collaborative blueprint on approaches for advancing Great Lakes water infrastructure.

The blueprint was created by a regional working group, comprised of Great Lakes stakeholders from various jurisdictions and disciplines. The working group articulates approaches for rebuilding the basin’s water infrastructure with an influx of federal funding through the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).

The group lays out the blueprint in layers by four Priority Areas: (1) public health and safety, (2) community engagement and trust-building, (3) equitable distribution of investments and benefits, and (4) asset management and workforce development.

The GLC also plans to include success stories to showcase how organizations, water service providers, or policymakers have already implemented some of the proposed recommendations included in the blueprint.

The GLC is currently soliciting feedback through its Idea Portal, where members of the public can read the blueprint, provide suggestions for its improvement and offer potential success stories to highlight in the blueprint. The Idea Portal will remain active until August 22, 2022.

The approaches for advancing Great Lakes water infrastructure blueprint has received generous support from the Joyce Foundation.
