The purchase of the two-acre property was made possible by the Coshocton Foundation, the Montgomery Foundation, the Coshocton Rotary Foundation and individual support. The property will be owned and maintained by CIB with plans to remediate the site and build greenhouses to help facilitate the procurement and growing of plant materials. The Coshocton County Auditor's Office reports sale included 20 parcels of land for $60,000.
CIB is initiating a capital campaign to complete the project which will include two 30’x96’ polycarb greenhouses and a support building. This location will be used to grow the thousands of flowers and plants for CIB’s various projects.
CIB does not intend to sell retail product. However, to support its efforts the organization may grow and sell wholesale product or products that may be used for fundraisers. CIB would like to add an educational component to what they do and partner with interested individuals or organizations.
