A new term called "Blue Infrastructure" for waterways is catching on. People choose to live and work in areas where recreation is readily available. By maintaining and preserving natural resources for recreation the county can remain economically vibrant.
People are willing to pay a premium for locations with high quality green & blue infrastructure i.e. recreational areas have significant impact on property values. High quality natural and environmental amenities attractcommercial development , jobs, and people. They help support the quality of life of local residents and foster community attachment.
Talent and innovation are sources of new local and regional economic growth.
Talent tends to migrate to places with significant green & blue infrastructure;
jobs tend to follow people, who follow green infrastructure quality.
As part of a long-term strategy, green & blue infrastructure can be leveraged to enhance
local economic viability and sustainability at the same time.
