Description

City-led programs that officially certify private properties that have green and blue infrastructure elements. Such practices have the potential to increase property values, which can thus motivate the owners to get certified. On the city scale, more green and blue infrastructure gets established.

Example

Lake Champlain International (LCI) BLUE® certification for watershed-friendly homes. Certified homeowners receive a BLUE certification lawn sign (potential to increase property value). LCI is working with cities to implement a stormwater utility discount for certified homeowners.
