A community food and resilience center is being developed with a significant investment. The project involves transforming a former grocery store into a solar-powered facility. Plans for the site include a commercial kitchen and community event space. A care unit for residents in emergency situations is also part of the proposal.

The initiative is driven by a coalition of urban farmers. Their goal is to create a network of food resiliency hubs, starting with this initial project. Further details about the development and its backers are available.

The new center aims to increase community control over food systems, addressing issues of power and autonomy in this area.
