Dawes Landscaping Upgrade Phase I
IN DESIGN

The Port Authority is continuing to work with Dawes Arboretum on an upgrade to our campus landscaping. The upgrade will see the remaining Calla Pear trees removed and more Ohio-Native plants brought into our campus. This continues to move us to a more thoughtful planned landscaping approach.
