There will be up to 10 employees working in the greenhouse. Some grading is required for this project, which would have a 41,060 sf concrete pad poured for the floor of the greenhouse. There are no mapped sensitive species on the site, however the entire site is within the AO flood plain. The applicant has indicated that two 1000 gallon tanks will be placed in the greenhouse along with a boiler room to provide heat. Two 500 gallon propane tanks will also be used inside the greenhouse.
