South Englewood Flood Reduction Project Complete

The City of Englewood has completed one of its largest infrastructure investments to date. The South Englewood Flood Reduction Project reduces flooding in the South Englewood drainage basin by constructing new stormwater detention ponds and upgrading storm pipes in key areas, including Rotolo Park.

This $23 million project enhances community safety, protects homes and businesses, and strengthens resilience to future storms. As part of the improvements, park spaces were regraded and restored, and 40 new trees were planted, with the new detention pond receiving the majority of the plantings.
