In 2018, the Town of Bath (Berkeley Springs) used a needed downtown streetscape and accessibility upgrade as a platform to retrofit its historic main street with green infrastructure, turning a chronic nuisance‑flooding problem into a living demonstration of rural climate resilience. By installing permeable pavers, bioretention tree boxes with underground storage, and a rain garden at the base of Greenway Cemetery, the project slows and filters stormwater before it reaches Warm Springs Run, reducing street ponding, protecting local businesses, and improving water quality during increasingly intense rain events. The work emerged from collaboration among town leadership, regional and state partners, and watershed organizations, and is now cited by residents and practitioners as proof that small Appalachian communities can embed nature‑based solutions directly into economic revitalization of their downtowns—aligning local identity, tourism, and main‑street investment with future‑focused climate adaptation.
