Whether planning a small- or large-scale LID retrofit project, your project team should include project champions who will promote the retrofit within your municipality and their local community. The project manager should be familiar with the site and its maintenance and operations. The core project team should include a broad range of professionals with different fields of expertise and perspectives to support the project manager.

Municipal facilities are hubs for community groups, interest clubs and sports teams. Partnerships with these groups can help promote - and even fund -  your LID retrofits. Community groups may have an interest in upgrading or beautifying facilities that they use in common. Volunteer support from these groups may be possible, especially if the project achieves common public goals.
