Sustainable and Affordable: Stormwater Management at Galen Terrace Apartments
play_circle_outline
NHT-Communities-owned Galen Terrace Apartments in Washington, D.C. showcases how housing can be affordable while also helping to improve the health of the city’s Anacostia River. A new stormwater management system at the property will reduce the harmful impact of excessive and polluted runoff entering local waterways. Not only does the environment benefit from the system, so does the property’s bottom line. The system will reduce the building’s growing water bill by lowering stormwater management fees, and it could even be a source of revenue via D.C.’s novel Stormwater Retention Credit (SRC) trading program.
