From Legacy to Resilience: Updating Historic Infrastructure for Modern Stormwater and Ecological Goals

This webinar will explore how communities are reimagining historic and underutilized landscapes to meet today’s stormwater and ecological needs. Through case studies of Bellevue Park Ponds and the Ballston Wetland, speakers will share how aging infrastructure has been thoughtfully retrofitted to provide real stormwater function, habitat, and public open space while preserving historic character and community identity. The webinar will highlight the balance of innovation, preservation, and partnership required to transform legacy sites into resilient, functional assets for the future.
