A ribbon cutting to mark the completion of a water quality improvement project is scheduled for today at Shadle Park in Pleasantville.

Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Mike Naig is scheduled to be among the dignitaries for the ceremony to commemorate the State Revolving Fund Water Resource Restoration Sponsored Project, as part of Soil and Water Conservation Week.

This project includes permeable pavers, bioretention cells and soil quality restoration at Shadle Park; students from Pleasantville High School will be installing native prairie plants in the bioretention cells beforehand, as an educational component of the project.

The ceremony will take place at 1:00 p.m.
