The final phase of Exploration Green is almost complete.

By September, the Clear Lake City Water Authority, the entity creating the series of detention ponds, will have a ribbon-cutting for Phase 5 of Exploration Green west of the intersection of Space Center and Bay Area boulevards in Clear Lake.

Exploration Green is a five-phase project to convert a golf course into detention ponds with natural elements to create wetland ecosystems and natural habitat while protecting surrounding homes from flooding.
