US: Evansville, Indiana - Perfect For Conversion To Vertical Farming Facility Will Soon Be On The Market

A climate-Controlled, Industrial Facility Will Soon Be On The Market

In Centrally Located Evansville, Indiana.

Evansville is in Southern Indiana, just south of the major logistical interchange of Interstate 69 and 64.

It is within a three-hour drive to Indianapolis, Saint Louis, Louisville, and is about five hours south of Chicago where there are numerous markets for indoor-grown produce.

It’s a strategic location, and existing infrastructure makes it an ideal facility to be converted to an Indoor Vertical Farm.

The previous tenants of the building (Tri-State Food Bank, Inc.) have outgrown the facility, and are currently building a larger facility to meet this need.

The building is zoned for commercial use and has been maintained well with little to no repairs required to make it a functional, vertical farm. 

In addition to an advantageous location, the city of Evansville and the ISBDC (Indiana Small Business Development Center) is renowned for its support of new business ventures in the area. Local hydroponic appliance startup, Heliponix, LLC, has utilized these resources for grant applications assistance, lines of credit, among many other services provided.

The buildings have the following climate control chamber for storing food:

●      Campbell: Heat and air conditioning

●      Hoy: Heat only

●      St. Hillier: Heat only

●      Office: Heat and air conditioning

Asking price is $500,000 which includes all assets on the property including, but not limited to: the office building, and the industrial building including the climate control chambers.

Below is a spec sheet itemizing Tri-State Food Bank's buildings, square footage, and heights for consideration by prospective vertical farming contacts.
