Description

Local governments might expand the pool of available funding for NBS by coordinating funding across the budgets of multiple municipal departments. This coordination has potential to enable cost sharing across the budgets of different municipal departments. Also, better coordination across departments could potentially reduce the costs for implementation of NBS, through aligning implementation of NBS with the timing of other street reconstruction projects.

Potential Elements
  • Coordination among the “usual suspect” municipal departments of transportation, sanitation, green spaces, water management, housing and urban development
  • Coordination with less obvious departments and agencies focusing on health and wellbeing or risk management
  • Cross-departmental mandates
  • Sustainability Budgets
