You may be surprised (as I was!) that there are entire warehouse districts across the country that have sat empty for years that are being converted to hydroponic growing facilities.

There are a fair number of them on the South side of Chicago at this point and it's becoming a burgeoning industry. I was wondering how tomato's being sold at my local grocer are still "locally grown" when growing season is over, and now I know!

“here are entire warehouse districts across the country that have sat empty for years that are being converted to hydroponic growing facilities.”

I’m trying to do just that in my town. My town is receptive of the idea - fully.

My bank account is not. But I bank at E.F. Nuthin’ so that’s a huge hurdle.
