Project
Jordan Lake Partnership
Client
State of North Carolina
What We Did
Create a regional, cooperative approach for limited water resources.
The Approach
Fountainworks led representatives from local jurisdictions throughout the Research Triangle region of North Carolina to develop a 50-year regional water supply plan.
The Result
Hailed as a first of its kind collaborative planning body around water supply, 13 local elected bodies signed a memorandum of understanding for cost-sharing, collaboration, regional water supply planning, and joint allocation request to the State of North Carolina. The Partnership and its work has been featured in national conferences and is the subject of an academic case study that highlights successful examples of collaborative governance.
