Stormwater Green Infrastructure is a Phase 1 flood protection program consisting of two projects: Marsh Restoration in Back Bay and Elizabeth River Wetland & Floodplain Restoration.
This project will utilize marsh terracing which is a coastal restoration tool that is commonly used to reestablish marshes in shallow, open water areas. They function by reducing wave energy and water velocities.
The Elizabeth River Wetland and Floodplain Restoration project aims to restore shorelines along Arrowhead Elementary School, Carolanne Farms Park, Woods of Avalon Park, and Ferry Pointe Park.
