Phase 2
PHASE 2 is under way!
We have achieved daylight! Phase 1 of the Muddy River Flood Risk Management Project culminated in the opening of the new Justine Mee Liff Park and the reconnection of the Emerald Necklace’s “missing link.” Phase 2 of the multi-faceted environmental restoration and stewardship project has begun, with construction activity expected over the next three years.
