Joshua Rodgers has a few ideas for creating jobs in the community (around 25-50 starting - 500 within a few years), and he's just needing people to get involved to help bring it to fruition -- by giving as little as $1! That's it. For just $1 you can potentially help bring in jobs to the community!
Of course more is better to get it done quicker (as $100K would be better - and everyone in the county giving $1 would only be around $20K), but in itself it's still very useful. And all money given will be put in an account setup just for the greenhouse - and you'll even get a few vegetables each year just for helping out for free*.
The areoponics/hydroponics greenhouse farm will actually use a wind farm, solar farm, and the natural lighting products that already exist in it's creation. So by getting it off the ground, the other "mini companies" will be running to provide a few jobs as well. The goal is to help bring in jobs into the community that people from at least 9 counties can benefit from (including Terre Haute, Vincennes, and possibly even as far as Champaign/Urbana!)
And it all starts with a small donation of $1 or more! Remember -- Want to help with a small investment?
* -- basically we'll have a general chart where anyone giving even $1 will get free vegetables every year for life (greenhouse crop yields pending). The more of the initial investment, the more vegetables you'll get. $1 would be more likely to get only one to five vegetables, whereas $100 may give ten to thirty each year, a thousand may get a small basket worth, etc. Once it's up and running, we'll have quarterly or yearly investment plans for people just as other "community supported agriculture" places - where like $250 a year would get you a basket of vegetables (about 50-100) every period crops pending.
