George Washington Regional Commission: The George Washington Regional Commission (GWRC) is holding a Green Infrastructure Charette at Howell Library Branch in Stafford County on April 26 at 12 p.m.

Through this event, attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about green infrastructure and provide feedback about where in the community green infrastructure may be needed.

Green infrastructure is a practice that captures and absorbs rainwater where it falls. Since water cannot be absorbed by impervious surfaces such as roads, roofs, and parking lots, urban areas experience increased rates of runoff that lead to erosion and flooding.
