Ecosystem Services CASE STUDY: Corvias Infrastructure Solutions Through a partnership with the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewage District, Goldman Sachs provided a loan to Corvias Infrastructure Solutions to finance the development of green stormwater infrastructure systems. The loan is the first closing through a facility that is intended to support Corvias’ construction of similar green stormwater infrastructure in partnership with municipalities across the US. Corvias is a leading developer of public-private partnership infrastructure and real estate projects across the US, and the company previously retrofitted over 2,000 acres of land as part of work associated with the EPA Clean Water Act. Built in response to federal municipal requirements under the EPA Clean Water Act, the stormwater infrastructure systems provide additional capacity that helps to prevent unwanted pollutants from filtering into groundwater during storm surges. The majority of the systems will be located in low-to-moderate income geographies, and they are expected to help avoid untreated stormwater runoff from polluting these areas. In addition, Corvias is targeting participation by subcontractors that are small, minority, and women-owned businesses.
