Two Cincinnati buildings have been named as green roof demonstration sites that will be available to the public for interactive educational purposes.
The projects will be installed upon the Metropolitan Sewer District's (MSD) new Wastewater Engineering Center in Lower Price Hill and on Fire Station No. 51 in College Hill, currently being designed by the Facilities Management division of the Public Services Department.
Vice Mayor David Crowley and Councilmember Chris Bortz requested that two sites be identified in a March 18 motion referred by City Council.
The City already has installed one green roof on top of MSD's Galbraith Road complex in Hartwell.
