The city is seeking state approval to sink 200 geothermal wells in Riverfront Park to create a $12 million heating and cooling system for downtown businesses, nonprofits and residences to cut carbon emissions and lower utility costs.
The state Legislature has been asked to pass a bill allowing the city to lease sub-surface park land below the Front Street parking lot in Riverfront Park. State action is required since park land is impacted by the work.
