Dana is transforming a former reservoir site into a flourishing community space. The space will utilize recycled materials for seating and art pieces. She envisions her friends and neighbors using the space to have a picnic, walk their dogs or stroll alongside the flowers and trees.

The space will even be home to a shed that will hold tools and materials for other ReClaim McKeesport Ambassadors!

“I plan on turning the lot into a beautiful garden/gathering place.”
