BrightFarms has partnered with D.C. grocer Giant to supply produce for stores.
BrightFarms constructed a 100,000 square-foot greenhouse in the southern portion of the city in the summer of 2013, with help from the city. DCist is reporting that the project will create 20 full-time jobs and 100 construction jobs. Construction on the facility should be completed in November.
Approximately 30 Giant stores will feature the BrightFarms produce.
