CHALLENGE CENTER FOUNDATION INC
2018
The purpose of this grant request is ensure that Bay Produce can continue to operate. It has been identified that the high pressure sodium lights in the greenhouse are well beyond their effective timeline and need to be replaced. These lights are necessary to maintain the quality and productivity of Bay Produce, an essential part of the Challenge Center and it's public identity. Along with the lights, the grant request also includes the addition of equipment to help with more appropriate airflow within the large greenhouse. This would require the use of horizontal vent tubes and vertical fans being placed strategically within the greenhouse. The airflow will have a significant effect on the health of the plants through assistance with disease control, pest control and mildew control. This has been proven to be an effective tool in other greenhouses. The requested improvements will allow Challenge Center to maintain and increase vocational opportunities for people with disabilities.
