Narrative

CCLF provided a $540,000 equipment/working capital loan for The Plant, an abandoned meatpacking plant in Chicago’s Back of the Yard’s neighborhood being converted into a net-zero energy vertical farm and food business operation. CCLF’s loan helped The Plant purchase an anaerobic digester and combined heat and power turbines to achieve its net-zero goal.
