Pringle Creek Featured in Top 10 Green Built Neighborhoods

A recent Natural Homes Magazine article highlights the top 10 Green Built Neighborhoods in the nation, including Salem's Pringle Creek Community.  As part of an interdisciplinary team, GreenWorks implemented a wide range of project objectives related to sustainable site design in Pringle Creek.  GreenWorks  design responsibilities included: collaboration on greenstreet design; design of rain gardens; public recreational spaces; the Village Green open space; pedestrian / pathway  network; woonerfs; greenway enhancement; and overall landscape treatment.  The project was awarded the Land Development of the Year Award in 2007 from the National Home Builder's Association.

"10.  Pringle Creek (Salem, Oregon): mixed-use community with walkable neighborhoods, two restored greenhouses, and careful water planning and rainwater management."
