JPMorgan Chase will be kicking in a total of $900,000 to three nonprofits to support sustainable infrastructure projects in Detroit. In addition, more than two-thirds of Chase’s Detroit branches will be retrofitted with LED lights and new building management systems.<\/p>\n

\u201cSustainable infrastructure is critical to the efficient and continuous operation of small businesses and to revitalizing commercial activity throughout Detroit<\/em>,\u201d Matt Arnold, Chase\u2019s Global Head of Sustainable Finance, said in a prepared statement. \u201cWe firmly believe that sustainability lies at the heart of long-term economic growth\u2026<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the groups is The Nature Conservancy, which is working with the City of Detroit and other partners to create a first-of-its-kind Special Purpose District, rather like a Business Improvement District. The district\u2019s creation would provide more cost-effective stormwater management services to local businesses, along with other benefits to businesses and residents in Detroit\u2019s Eastern Market area.<\/p>\n

Funding from JPMorgan will help the Eastside Community Network tackle the lack of affordable move-in-ready retail space for small businesses and will support the acquisition and rehab of vacant commercial properties along the Mack Avenue commercial corridor. In addition, the community network will be able to use vacant spaces between commercial properties for the development of green infrastructure that can mitigate drainage fees.<\/p>\n

And the Jefferson East community group will be enabled to accelerate the incorporation of green building practices, such as the completion of new green parking lots in vacant land adjacent to commercial properties, into the development of commercial spaces for minority small-business owners.<\/p>\n

A wide variety of green tools<\/h2>\n

In the branch retrofits, Chase is collaborating with GE subsidiary Current. The retrofits reportedly will cut lighting energy consumption by 50 percent, electric and gas consumption by 15 percent, and water consumption from irrigation systems by 20 percent.<\/p>\n

The emphasis on stormwater and drainage in many of the projects, a JPMorgan Chase spokesperson told Commercial Property Executive<\/em>, results from Detroit\u2019s antiquated water management infrastructure, which features a \u201ccombined sewer system\u201d that manages both sewage collection and stormwater runoff. When this type of system is overwhelmed by stormwater, the sewers discharge untreated sewage into the Detroit and Rouge Rivers and can cause surface and basement flooding.<\/p>\n

Stormwater management components of the various projects include rain gardens, bioswales, cisterns, green roofs, permeable pavements and green spaces. All of which can reduce a property\u2019s stormwater discharge and thus help reduce drainage charges, the spokesperson added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
