WHO WE ARE: Green for the Greater Good is a group of neighbors working to transform the Rodney Reservoir into a beautiful park for all to enjoy!
1. FUNDING FOR RODNEY RESERVOIR PARK APPROVED
Last week the Delaware Legislature passed a Bond and Capital Improvements Act for Fiscal Year 2025 that included funding for improvements to Rodney Reservoir Park! We hope to hear an update from the City of Wilmington soon about how this funding will secure a path forward for construction of the park. We express our thanks to the City of Wilmington for prioritizing this funding and our state legislators for advocating for it in Dover!
2. COMMUNITY GARDEN DESIGN SESSION I, TUESDAY JULY 7, 6-8 PM
The University of Delaware’s Living Lab is helping our community design the community garden section of the new park at the Rodney Reservoir.
