The community struggle to Save McMillan Park, preserving the Olmsted designed surface park and existing 20 acres underground, creates the exciting potential for Sustainable large scale "indoor agriculture" and Family Fish Network. With proven vertical indoor growing technology we could convert the McMillan/Olmsted Park caverns to a fully functional, local food production facility , making it a truly sustainable site. Imagine five times the yield of surface farming, one tenth the water consumption, superior organic fresh fruit, vegetables and Family Farmed Tilapia, freshly produced right here in DC , no longer trucked from California, Florida and Mexico. VMP plan will demolish the 20 acres, and build a massive, gross, misguided "fake community with McPark! We need to reject the development plan, forced on the community, and supported by a fake grassroots campaign, an insult to DC. Please see this fascinating video: http://youtu.be/ILzWmw53Wwo
