EPA launched the Water Infrastructure and Resiliency Finance Center on Jan. 16 to help communities across the country improve their wastewater, drinking water and stormwater systems through innovative financing and building resilience to climate change. The center is part of the President's Build America Investment Initiative - a government-wide effort to increase infrastructure investment and promote economic growth by creating opportunities for state and local governments and the private sector to collaborate, expand public-private partnerships, and increase the use of federal credit programs.
