West Creek Veterans Basin Improvements Project
Regional stormwater management program project will help address flooding in Parma neighborhood
The West Creek Veterans Basin Improvements Project will decrease flooding to the neighborhood downstream of Veterans Park by converting the current basin to an expanded dry detention basin. This expanded dry detention basin will increase stormwater storage in the project area during rain events. Additional project goals include water quality improvements, local stormwater conveyance improvements, and improvements to Veterans Park amenities in the project area.
