Regional Rio Grande Valley Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Funding Workshop Report
On February 21, 2023, the leadership of both federal and Texas state agencies, NGOs, and communities in the Rio Grande
The Water Finance Exchange (WFX), a 501(c)(3), works closely with federal and state
stakeholders, communities, philanthropy, and the financial sector to address the water
infrastructure funding shortage facing thousands of communities across the U.S. With a network
of experts and a revolving pre-development fund, WFX connects communities to funding
sources and offers technical and financial expertise integral to building scalable solutions.
WFX builds state-level partnerships by hosting workshops, convening environmental and public
health regulators, water innovators and non-profits, university affiliates, and community leaders
to explore sources of funding, the process and procedures involved for communities to seek
those funds, governance management, and innovative strategies.
A goal of these workshops is to bring state leaders and community partners in conversation with nation-wide conversations around resilient and sustainable water infrastructure systems, inclusive of regional solutions and partnerships. These workshops will identify collaborative opportunities to leverage public, private, and philanthropic funds toward affordable, sustainable water infrastructure in economically healthy regions where water serves as the cornerstone for economic development priorities.
