VOICE 1:
Have you noticed all the new landscaping downtown?

VOICE 2:
That new landscaping does more than just add beauty to our community.

VOICE 1:
Really?

VOICE 2:
It’s a rain garden, part of the community’s green storm water infrastructure plan.
It uses natural vegetation to absorb rainwater, reduce flooding and manage the effects of storms.

It is one of the ways our community is managing the connection between how we use our land and manage our water resources, providing multiple benefits for all.
