The Farm Fresh RI Food Hub is a 60,000 sq ft building — half of which will be occupied by Farm Fresh RI programs and operations, including a year-round farmers market. Remaining space will be leased to food and farm businesses. Completion: Fall 2020
Please steel yourselves for our third and most riveting construction update yet. As you may recall, the November Update detailed our extensive site work, and the December Update reported on the installation of foundations and footings. In this update, we’ll focus on the very successful installation of steel at the Farm Fresh RI Hub.
Stay tuned for more updates to come. In the meantime, learn more about The Farm Fresh RI Food Hub. And feel free to send questions to hub@farmfreshri.org.
SPECIAL THANKS to all who worked on the steel, including structural engineers David Charette and Loren Yoder, Shawmut Metal, MAS Building & Bridge Inc., and CASE Construction.
