The government is paying a small business to draft a stormwater management plan
What happened
A federal agency awarded a contract for a stormwater management plan. This means a small business will now draft a document outlining how to handle water runoff.
Why it matters
This contract is a routine administrative step for managing water runoff. It ensures a specific site will have a plan in place, but it does not change broader rules or how such plans are typically developed or funded.
The signal
Watch for any future contracts to actually implement the plan, which would indicate a shift from planning to action.
