Using Green Infrastructure for Neighborhood Revitalization
The Parramore Greenprint Plan blends together two essential elements for the revitalization of the Parramore neighborhood in Orlando. Former mayor Glenda Hood believed that creating park amenities was critical to stimulating private development in the community. Also critical to attracting private development was an economical and integrated stormwater management system to handle current and future development runoff and attenuation. The plan identifies strategic parcels for ponds to serve as water features in newly created parks. To maximize the benefit of the new parks, the plan identifies linkages between proposed facilities and existing sites.
