WASHINGTON, D.C.— ICMA, the International City/County Management Association, welcomes Corvias Solutions, a division of Corvias Group committed to helping its public sector partners solve their toughest stormwater and infrastructure challenges, to the ICMA Strategic Partners Program at the general partner level.

With a focus on creating jobs, strengthening communities, and improving the environment, Corvias Solutions employs an inclusive, innovative design, build, and construct model to assist public sector organizations in meeting their regulatory obligations and solving their environmental, energy, and infrastructure challenges. This proven public-private partnership (P3) approach emphasizes community priorities, sound program execution, and long-term sustainable reinvestment.

A marquis achievement of Corvias Solutions is the development of the Clean Water Partnership, a 30-year-term agreement signed in March 2015 between Prince George’s County, Maryland, and Corvias Solutions to address the county’s stormwater regulatory issues. Through this first-of-its kind P3, Corvias will retrofit up to 4,000 acres of impervious surfaces using green infrastructure and low-impact development practices in the first three years, with the potential to grow to 15,000 acres of untreated impervious area by 2025. Corvias will operate and maintain all of the assets that it improves over the life of the partnership.

“We at ICMA look forward to our new partnership with Corvias Solutions, an organization that aids communities in addressing green stormwater infrastructure while investing in those towns and cities by hiring locally,” said ICMA Executive Director Robert J. O’Neill, Jr. “Their desire to improve the communities with whom they partner goes above and beyond simple project management and demonstrates the value of public-private relationships.”

ICMA created its Strategic Partners Program in 1996 as an access point for private sector participation in association programs and activities. ICMA Strategic Partners help professional local government managers and their staffs by showcasing leading practice solutions and providing thought leadership.
