HOLLADAY GREEN STREET PLAN

STORMWATER MANAGEMENT BIOPHILIC DISTRICT The Lloyd EcoDistrict has an opportunity to demonstrate the concept of biophilia, the instinctive bond between humans and nature, at a district scale. For Lloyd this means creating natural and native green spaces that foster health and well-being, community identity, and ecosystem health. The interplay between high performance buildings, infrastructure and these natural spaces transforms this place into a truly sustainable neighborhood where people want to live, work, and play.

LLOYD ECODISTRICT

The Holladay Green Street charrette in March 2015 gathered interested stakeholders to advance the green street plan and build buy-in. We are now developing an innovative financial incentive mechanism to combine public right-of-way green street improvements and stormwater management practices that are required as part of the development process. Lloyd EcoDistrict will work with property owners and other stakeholders to develop a private sector-led finance strategy and credit bank to realize the vision of Holladay as a green street.
