Located in Chicago’s Auburn Gresham neighborhood is a vacant brownfield site that until recently had been contaminated for nearly 100 years and was not fit for use. This is the future home of the Green Era Campus: 9 acres of vacant land transformed into a vibrant renewable energy facility and hub for urban agriculture and green jobs. We’ve completed the in-depth process of remediation, revitalization, and restoration—but this is only the beginning.
