A green infrastructure project is designed to provide environmental, social, and economic benefits to a community. The City of Roswell practices green development and constructs green infrastructure to protect the environmental health of the natural resources within the City.
Myrtle/Zion Paver System
In 2016, the City of Roswell installed a semi-permeable paver system at the intersection of Myrtle Street and Zion Circle. The water quality improvement project was funded through a 319H grant provided by the Environmental Protection Division. The Myrtle/Zion (MZ) paver system receives runoff from a 3-acre drainage area and helps filter runoff before the water enters Roswell’s watershed.
East Alley Paver System
The East Alley permeable paver system was completed in 2018, as part of the East-West Alley Master Plan. The 4,226 square feet of permeable pavers installed in downtown Roswell provide approximately 3,071 cubic feet of water quality treatment and 2,360 cubic feet of detention storage to the downtown Roswell area.
