9.21.21 - Javits Center green roof aims to lead the way in sustainability
"While folks are checking in for an event at the Javits Center, upstairs, farmers are planting shallots. It's a one-acre rooftop farm, part of the $1.5 billion expansion project at the convention center on the West Side of Manhattan."
""There will be millions of people coming through this convention hall in the coming years, and we are excited that we can see this,” said Ben Flanner, co-founder and CEO of Brooklyn Grange, which is managing day-to-day operations at the farm with views of the Hudson River and Midtown Manhattan."
