Marinas Going Green
 
The Ohio Clean Marinas Program is partnering on a multi-state project that involves resources to help marinas better understand green infrastructure, on-the-ground practices to help demonstrate green infrastructure in action at a marina, and monitoring research to help learn how green infrastructure can benefit water quality. The news article below covers an overview of the project and dives into key questions marinas may have about this topic.

Please help community leaders and local development officials learn more about the strengths and weaknesses of the local economy and marina industry.
