For years, flooding and stormwater runoff challenged the town of Greensboro on Maryland's Eastern Shore. The community began changing the way it handled stormwater in 2012, starting with projects designed to reduce flooding and keep pollutants from reaching the Choptank River. Nine years later, the town brought the same approach to its volunteer fire company property, using permeable pavers, runoff controls and step conveyance to manage water. The results have gone beyond the original projects, inspiring similar stormwater improvements in other nearby communities.
