Council Member Marmorato inquires about incentives for homeowners implementing green water solutions. Commissioner Aggarwala explains that while there are no current tax incentives for individual homeowners, there is a partnership program for larger-scale projects.
- Currently, no tax incentives are in place for individual homeowners implementing green water solutions
- The Resilient NYC Partners program helps fund large-scale private landowners or non-DEP landowners to install on-site retention, usually green infrastructure
- Examples of partnerships include projects with Jacobi Hospital and Greenwood Cemetery
- The program aims to utilize large areas of land, such as parking lots, for implementing green infrastructure solutions

And so H and H has been a great partner and recognized that they have well, on this topic in any case, they've recognized that they have a lot of land including a lot of parking lots and so we can bring some funding so that they can install some of these systems.
