CHAPTER 11_ THE AGRICULTURAL CORE

Las Vegas is no where near the agricultural core, nor is it even the same. The main economic activity in Vegas is tourism, but the brightly lit city does have plans to expand their horizons and create a vertical farm. A vertical farm is a building that is placed in the middle of an urban area, and houses an indoor farm. With Vegas being famous for its skyscrapers the vertical farm will just be another building and fit right in. With 30 storeys housing 100 different crops. The project is estimated to cost $200 million. Even though Vegas is still growing and expanding, Vegas will gain a few more Eco-friendly tourists that they may have lost due to the immense amount of electricity they use.
