US (NY): Inside the upcoming 300,000 sq.ft. SUNY Cobleskill greenhouse

Manhattan-based Chobe Advisers are working with SUNY Cobleskill to build nearly 300,000 square feet of greenhouse facilities on college land near I-88.

The project is the first development the finance, commodities, and renewable energy consultants plan to own and operate outright. Utilizing renewable energy and high-efficiency water systems, the developers are making use of various state and federal incentive programs to establish themselves as large-scale growers of produce that qualifies as local, with the goal of providing that produce to large Northeastern markets, including New York City.

Two of the firm’s partners, Louis Ferro and Rob Parker, were interviewed when they were in Cobleskill for meetings earlier this winter.
