MBM Support Organizations

The Maryland Black Mayors, Inc. (MBM) partners with other organizations for projects that educate Mayors of color to better serve the towns which they lead.

 

Stormwater Management

​

MBM's partnership, with the Environmental Finance Center (EFC) at the University of Maryland, was awarded an Outreach and Restoration grant by the Chesapeake Bay Trust. The goal: work together to advance the capacity of MBM municipalities in addressing stormwater runoff. The result: creating a pilot program using the MOST (Municipal Online Stormwater Training Center) platform.

 

Getting MOST for Maryland Black Mayors has provided in-depth training to a small cohort of MBM member communities, about how to establish community-based stormwater management programs. Six municipalities completed the training, and all developed a stormwater plan for their respective towns.

 

MBM’s leadership first identified the need for greater stormwater education for local governments. Our municipal members have a vested interest in clean, healthy communities and are now uniquely equipped to engage and educate residents about watershed issues.
