Greener Future for Downtown Kenton’s Infrastructure Project with Silva Cells Installation

The City of Kenton recently announced some new changes taking place downtown. The ambitious downtown Kenton infrastructure project is making significant strides as the installation of Silva Cells begins to take shape.

Silva Cells are modular systems designed to support large tree growth in urban areas by providing ample soil volume and rooting space.

These systems also aid in storm water management by allowing water to infiltrate the soil, reducing runoff, and improving water quality.

According to information on the city’s website, the decision to integrate Silva Cells into the downtown area underscores the city’s commitment to green infrastructure and environmental stewardship.

By creating a supportive soil environment beneath sidewalks and streets, Silva Cells allow tree roots to expand and thrive without causing damage to the surrounding pavement.

This in turn ensures the long-term health and stability of urban trees, which are vital for improving air quality, providing shade, and enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of the city.
