Proposed Olde Sewickley Highlands Landscape Plan

After consulting with a landscape designer, the Board of Commissioners present a multi-year phased landscape plan for the island at Olde Sewickley Highlands. The landscape designer selected a variety of trees to display varying colors. The renderings detail what the island will look like after 10 to 15 years of growth. Please send your comments and concerns regarding the plan to Manager Betsy Rengers at brengers@leettwp.org. The Board of Commissioners will consider the comments at a subsequent meeting and planting will begin as soon as possible.
