BrightFarms' Paul Lightfoot with Mariano's Bob Mariano officially breaking ground in Rochelle last week.
The company "wanted to come to the Chicagoland area because we wanted to partner with Mariano's," Lightfoot said. "Rochelle made it easy for us to decide to come here, because this site was ready to go. Roads, sewer and power all run to this site, and it's build-ready, which isn't often the case."
"We would love to partner with someone local," he added. "Whether it's a nonprofit or with schools, we love to get some of this produce in the local community."
