Description
The City of Polk City is implementing a soil quality restoration program, targeting a streamlined approach to improving soil health on 60 existing residential lots. The program will focus on simplifying the installation process to improve the adoption of stormwater BMPs on private properties. With a long waiting list of local residents, Polk City is ready to hit the ground running and set an example for how to partner with private homeowners to achieve stormwater goals.
