Over the past two decades, UTC has partnered with residents to redevelop 29 vacant lots, totaling more than 86,000 square feet of land. Together, we have repurposed these spaces for communal growing and gathering, sustainable food production and affordable food distribution, and multi-generational community health and wellness education. We aim to cultivate community leadership, improve community health, and develop a local sustainable equitable food system.
