Description
The Prince George’s County Rain Check Rebate Program, managed by the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, offers financial incentives to property owners who implement approved stormwater management practices. The program’s goal is to encourage the adoption of green infrastructure—such as rain barrels, cisterns, rain gardens, conservation landscaping, urban tree canopy, permeable pavement, pavement removal, and green roofs—to reduce stormwater runoff, improve water quality, and enhance the health of local streams, rivers, and the Chesapeake Bay. Rebates are available for homeowners, businesses, nonprofits, and institutions, making environmentally friendly upgrades more accessible and rewarding.
