Work Continues on Powhatan Resilience Project
Throughout August, work will be continuing on the Powhatan Resilience Project, with the construction of new storm-safe rain gardens and trails. Over the next few weeks, concrete and pathways will be installed, as will swales and drainage ponds.
Work is already being undertaken by Natural Concerns Landscape Contractors, and NeighborSpace is looking forward to the transformation!
