the social, environmental, and community redevelopment outcomes anticipated from daylighting the
lower reach of Valley Creek and developing a stormwater park. The daylighting project will support the
ongoing revitalization of the downtown Waterfront District while providing recreational and
educational opportunities and more. This analysis will be used to inform stakeholder decision‐making,
guide future design and planning, and strengthen capital funding applications.
