Greenlawn Stormwater Project

   Construction started this week on the Greenlawn Stormwater Management Improvement Project, located near the Greenlawn development.
   The improvements consist of retro-fitting the existing stormwater management area by constructing a new pond outlet, dewatering pipe and valve, and embankment improvements.
   Added improvements include a bioswale, bioretention facility and three rip-rap lined forebays. Concrete drainage pipe and drain manholes will be added to improve drainage in the Town of Middletown's open space area. This project is funded by the DNREC Clean Water State Revolving Loan Fund Program.
   The low bid amount of $304,966.20 was submitted by Austin & Bednash.
   Completion of this project is scheduled for mid November.
