Green > Grey: Challenges, Opportunities, and Policy Implications for Delaware GreenInfrastructure Landscape

Abstract

Beginning in fiscal year 2021, the University of Delaware’s Institute for Public Administration (IPA), in partnership with the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT), began a year-long work plan devoted to green infrastructure. Applied research and public service components included outreach to various stakeholders, facilitation of a virtual workshop, and the development of resources designed to provide information on the challenges, opportunities, policy implications, and best practices of green infrastructure approaches in Delaware. This brief summarizes policy implications for Delaware's green infrastructure landscape and highlights additional best practices.
