The city claimed a ‘5 Bronze’ rating on Oct. 3 in the International Challenge in the very large community category, with special recognition for its remedial action plan in Centennial Park.

The judges described the plan the city came up with in response to soil contamination in Centennial Park “’clean, green and lean’ both from an environment and renewal perspective.”
