Mineral Manor
Mineral Manor is one of the largest and oldest projects that is owned and operated by the Reno Housing Authority. Currently, lawn encompasses almost 8 acres of the site, which is watered by the tenants with hose and sprinklers. CFA prepared a master plan for a federal grant proposing a minimum 25% lawn area reduction, automatic sprinklers, accessible walkways, children's play areas, and seating areas. Although the grant was not successful, there were funds to develop a first phase irrigation main line system and patios with pavers to replace the old concrete. Currently, the first phase is bidding for construction, which is scheduled to start in spring 2010.
CFA is beginning Phase 2 design, which will remove 70% of the existing lawn along the 9th Street frontage and replace it with drought-tolerant shrubs and mulches. Drip irrigation will be available for new tree planting, which will be done by Truckee Meadows Community Forestry Coalition.
