"All of our citizens deserve great open spaces. Canal Park will become the heart of the mixed-use, mixed-income neighborhood that is emerging in what was once a forgotten part of our city."
- Mayor Anthony A. Williams

GGN's competition-winning proposal, "Collective Waters," incorporated both innovative stormwater management strategies and a rich sense of local history.
