Throughout Southeastern Pennsylvania neighborhoods, residents are trying to protect and enhance their quality of life. By integrating stormwater management strategies into their community development plans, they address important issues such as flood minimization, green and open space protection, clean water and air, and an aesthetically pleasing environment.

For more than a decade, local government, businesses, non-profits and citizen groups have recognized the need to manage stormwater in a way that supports both a community's infrastructure and addresses its natural resource demands. The varied efforts to respond to these needs include state sponsored stormwater management plans, regional watershed management plans, open space planning, vacant land reuse and community planning.

The Urban Watersheds Revitalization Conference will feature inspiring presentations that illustrate developments that are considerate of neighborhood character, infrastructure and the environment, and respect a community's multiple needs.

These projects will illustrate a community's ability to achieve its goals through utilizing urban and suburban stormwater best management practices (BMPs). Other projects featured at the conference will demonstrate costs of BMPs versus standard stormwater management in development and opportunities to monitor the impact of such development on the local economy, environment, community, and neighborhood aesthetics.

Participants will have the opportunity to network with other attendees, learn about success stories and obstacles faced by other communities, and participate in the 1st Stormwater BMP Recognition Awards Ceremony.
