The Economics
What a buffer zone actually produces.
Stormwater Management
Managed gallons per site
700K – 2.1M gal/yr (site size + capture infrastructure)
PWD stormwater credit rate
~$0.10 – $1.00 per managed gallon — confirm current PWD rate (regional SRC markets have traded ~$0.42 – $2.03 per credit)
Annual value per site
$70K – $210K
Air Quality Improvement
Trees planted + AQI impact
300 – 800 trees per site; measurable AQI improvement in adjacent blocks
Grant eligibility
EPA + PA DEP urban forestry and green infrastructure grants
Annual grant value
~$40K – $80K per site (estimate)
Community Food Production
Garden plots + hydroponics output
20K – 60K lb of produce per year
Funding sources
USDA urban agriculture + Philadelphia Parks & Recreation programs
Annual output value
~$30K – $60K per site
Per site: ~$240K annual value to the city. Cost to build: ~$1.2M one-time. Payback: ~60 months.
Placeholder figures — confirm the stormwater credit rate with PWD before contract negotiation.
Not a grant request. A services contract.
Philadelphia already pays for stormwater management, air quality improvement, and food access through separate programs. We consolidate all three into one built-and-operated site that costs less than the alternatives and delivers more measurable outcomes.
- City pays per unit of stormwater managed
- City pays per tree maintained
- City pays per gallon of water produced
- 10-year operating contract
- Recurring revenue, not one-time grant
