Urban Farm Center to offer year-round supply of locally grown food clcillinois cityofwaukegan
The College of Lake County's Urban Farm Center will be housed in a sleek $15 million building to promote modern agricultural techniques and provide a diverse, year-round supply of locally grown food.
The site is vacant and had been used as a staging area for the recently completed Student Center at 34 N. Sheridan Road. The city last week approved height and setback variations, and fundraising is getting underway. Fournier worked 20 years at the Chicago Botanic Garden and was a director at the Farm on Ogden in Chicago's Lawndale neighborhood. The venture by the Botanic Garden and Lawndale Christian Health Center opened in summer 2018 and is a template of sorts for the Waukegan project.
According to the college, entrepreneurship, food as medicine, health and wellness, supply chain management and marketing will be among the lessons to be learned as part of the urban farm program.
