Officials in Wapakoneta are saying that the recent deal made for the greenhouse may be a good opportunity for the city.
Mastronardi Produce announced the purchase of the greenhouse earlier this month to start growing produce for their "Sunset" brand. The Canada-based company now has greenhouses in five states. The Wapakoneta greenhouse, which will now be known as the "Ohio Greenhouse Company", is the sixth American greenhouse for Mastronardi Produce. With the changes coming to the greenhouse, Greg Myers with the Wapakoneta Area Economic Development Council says that there are a lot of great opportunities coming to the city.
Plans for a 15-acre expansion for the greenhouse are also in the works.
