Harvest Singularity breaks ground on $69M hydroponic greenhouses in Newberry

City, state, and University of Florida officials gathered in Newberry to mark the start of construction on the first of two high-tech hydroponic greenhouses at the city’s AgFoodTech Innovation Park. The two planned facilities together represent more than $130 million in investment and are expected to bring hundreds of jobs to the region. Officials described the project as the largest private investment in Newberry’s recent history and part of the city’s push to become a hub for controlled-environment agriculture.
