FarmWorks is a unique urban agriculture project being developed on the long abandoned site of the historic St. Louis Stamping Company. It includes four interconnected components-an urban farm, a transitional residential facility, a green business incubator, and an educational facility. The project will convert an abandoned part of downtown, create hundreds of jobs to boost the local economy, and pursue goals of reducing crime and homelessness. The project is pursuing LEED certification, and multiple green features are to be including in the design and construction: blackwater and greywater treatment systems, solar PV panels and solar hot water, a fleet of bicycles for use by residents and staff, the use of renewable and low emitting materials, and more!
