Santa Rosa’s Old Courthouse Square is suddenly greener and it has nothing to do with all the recent rainstorms.  Crews laid down hundreds of rolls of drought-tolerant turf yesterday that will cover almost 10-thousand square feet of the city’s newly reunified ten-and-a-half million dollar downtown square.  The sod was rolled out into a shape designed to mimic the footprint of the courthouse destroyed in the 1906 earthquake.  The square is scheduled to finally officially open on April 29th.
