Construction begins this week on the Baltimore Food Hub, a $17 million development that will transform an urban brownfield in the Broadway East community into a center for food production and job creation.
American Communities Trust (ACT), the lead developer, will hold a groundbreaking ceremony on Tuesday at noon on part of the site, 1801 East Oliver Street in East Baltimore.
“Once completed, the 3.5-acre campus will include teaching and commercial production kitchens, spaces for food manufacturing, job training, urban farming, and an all-season fresh food market,” ACT states on its Baltimore Food Hub website. “The project is on track to create dozens of jobs, bring new life to a disinvested urban area, and provide substantial opportunities for micro-enterprise, workforce development, and community education.”
