Summary
Watershed groups want to build small vernal pools in the 20-acre wooded conservation area at Severance Town Center to help amphibians and improve stream health. It would cost about $121,500 but grants could cover it. The catch: the city doesn't own the land, and MetroHealth and the school board haven't been approached yet.

Impact analysis
About $121,500 for the work, but state and federal grants could cover all of it — no local match required for several programs.
The watershed and local wildlife get the direct benefit; residents could eventually enjoy a greener, park-like amenity near the Millican woods.
Some trees would be removed and the area would be temporarily disrupted during construction; neighbors with drainage issues want assurance the project won't worsen runoff.
