Does the City offer money or designs for rain gardens?
While the City recognizes the benefits of rain gardens and other forms of stormwater retention, Moline does not currently offer funding to assist homeowners or businesses in implementing rain gardens. Many organizations, like
Riveraction, offer suggested plantings and designs if you want to do-it-yourself and several local landscaping companies will do the actual design, construction and planting for you.
