About the Project

The San Lorenzo Agriculture District is a transformative initiative aimed at revitalizing underutilized spaces into productive agricultural zones. This project integrates controlled environment agriculture, traditional farming, research and development, and community engagement to create a sustainable food ecosystem.

The project has commenced with a multi year master plan design project that will include all the creative designs, renderings and full community engagement with all visual assets that will describe the project in great detail. This will involve all stakeholders on all levels in design, creative and development of a comprehensive master plan that will inform all of the implementation and marketing of San Lorenzo as a regional leader in agriculture.

Vision

Our vision is to create a self-sustaining agricultural district that promotes food security, economic growth, and community well-being. By reimagining spaces, we aim to establish San Lorenzo as a model for sustainable agricultural development in Puerto Rico.
