The Parks and Green Spaces Levy Oversight Committee is holding a public hearing tonight on the final list of projects recommended for funding by the Opportunity Fund. Our Rainier Beach Urban Farm and Wetlands Project is on the final list! This is our last chance to let the Committee know how wide and deep the support for an urban farm at the former Atlantic City Nursery site is, within the community.
