Skellie will also discuss how green parking lots also create an economic win; recent studies find a 12 percent higher income streams on tree-scaped streets and parking lots.

Tavis Dockwiller will explore the technical and aesthetics side of green parking lot design as she discusses examples of how attractive green stormwater management might be incorporated within parking areas for a variety of benefits.
