The $18.2 million Marlboro Agricultural Education Center will engage young Brooklynites in sustainable food production, featuring a rooftop greenhouse for fish and plants and various educational facilities.
Offering indoor marketplaces, teaching kitchens, and multipurpose rooms, the center will provide cooking classes, job training, and other programs to promote education and sustainability.
Mayor Adams emphasizes the importance of universal access to healthy food and lauds the center as a resilient space bringing sustainable food, jobs, and education to the community.
The sustainably designed center, meeting LEED Gold standards, is set to endure heavy use conditions for over 60 years, emphasizing environmental responsibility and resilience in a coastal flood zone.
