Dawes Landscape – Phase I
PROGRESSING
The Port Authority is working with The Dawes Arboretum on an upgrade to Base Campus landscaping. A contractor, Grace Landscapes, has been selected through the quotation process. Under a Port Authority-held nursery license, soon more Ohio native plants will be brought to the campus in preparation for planting. This continues to move the campus to a more thoughtful, planned landscaping approach. Find a one-pager describing the project. Find an excerpt of the Dawes plans online.
