Tulsa World: Low Impact Development design competition set

The Green Country Sustainability Forum announces a regional Low Impact Development (LID) Design Competition aimed at educating design professionals, built environment decision makers and the public on the positive impacts of LID.

LID is an approach to land development that works with nature to manage stormwater as close to its source as possible. Benefits include decreased flood risk, improved water quality, more urban green space, improved urban habitat, and, in many cases, increased property values.

Teams will submit their LID design based on data from properties within the Metropolitan Tulsa area. Teams will consist of licensed landscape architects, architects and engineers.

Registration is open until Feb. 14, and submittals are due February 28. Contest category winners will receive $10,000 with prizes also for second place. The Awards Ceremony April 3 will be held in conjunction with the Great Plains LID Research and Innovation Symposium from April 2-4.
