This new neighborhood complex is a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified development. It is designed to use less energy and natural resources through the incorporation of innovations such as solar panels and raingardens. The raingardens and storm water detention area reduce runoff from rooftops and other hard surfaces. Porous pavement was used in the sidewalks to reduce runoff to an adjacent stream and recharge the ground water supply.
The raingardens and storm water detention area were designed with native vegetation that is aesthetically pleasing and thrives in both wet and dry conditions.
