The UA Community Design Center, in collaboration with Marty Matlock, a professor with the Ecological Engineering Group was awarded $464,000 from the Arkansas Resources Commission funded through the EPA. The money will be used in planning and designing the Habitat for Humanity Neighborhood of 30-50 homes. The project will be designed to capture stormwater runoff through hard civil infrastructure, such as curbs and gutters, we will use wet meadows, bioswells and infiltration features. Using stormwater gardens will cut the cost of the street in half. The plants will cleanse the rainwater.
