Cultivate Collective, has a $75 million plan to convert vacant land at the former LeClaire Courts public housing complex to a farm, a charter school and greenhouses. There would also be a green business incubator facility, which would contain enough solar panels allowing the structure to be completely energy self-sufficient.
