The Belmont campus will have a significant impact on the regional economy. When it is fully operational, the facility will be home to 67-to-72, new full-time jobs with an average salary higher than the average salary in Lafayette County. Approximately 100 additional seasonable positions will be created in the greenhouse. The combined payroll of the facility will be in excess of $3.6 million annually. There is expected to be over $110 million investment in construction and equipment. The campus will also create many opportunities for local family farms to become suppliers, which will in turn amplify the economic impact of the facility on the region. A complete independent analysis of the economic impact of the project has been completed.
