Would you eat a fish that came from a former Ford Plant? I'm not sure that I would but I'm hopeful that the concept happens for the former Ford Motor Co Lorain Assembly Plant.
An environmental consultant for the owners of the former Ford Plant will explore the possibility of a new aquaponic farm at the site, which sits at the intersection of Baumhart Road and US 6.
The deal is far from done but it is a very green and interesting way to recycle this property! For the complete story click here!
The picture is from Tree Hugger – the company that wants to farm the fish. This is what one of their fishy farms looks like – interesting!

Aren't the owners of that Ford plant the same people doing the Goodyear project in Akron and the Hoover project in North Canton?
There was an article in Crains (originally from The Elyria Chronicle) about an upscale development of housing and community recreation in a former quarry?!. Stu Lichter is head of the company proposing the development – who is the same company proposing the Goodyear Campus idea. (A mix of housing, hotels, and retail) " The $500 million quarry project on the west side of Lorain County has been slowed by the recession, but the California development company that plans to build the upscale residential and recreation complex said it remains committed to the project." I'm sure. Long story short – no – they are not the same project to my knowledge but Stu is "committed" to another project in the same county. For the full article on that project click here.
