July 1: Congresswoman Kaptur Helped Launch Next Phase of Oneida Street Growing Project

Congresswoman Kaptur helped kick off a capital campaign for the next phase of the successful Oneida Street greenhouse project.

The campaign goal is to raise $271,000 to build a farm training center at the site. Young people from the community will themselves build the center, where they will then learn urban agriculture techniques, aquaculture, apiary science, gardening, and life skills.

Two challenge grants, including one from The Andersons, Inc., will match other contributions in the early phase of the campaign.
