The Historic Westside just became the first neighborhood in the city to have a community-based urban agricultural farming facility! π π₯¬ππ₯πΌ
Today we celebrated the ribbon-cutting of the Urban Farm at James Gay Park. π³
The goal of the new local food source is to help tackle food insecurity for the area.
The Urban Farm at James Gay Park is funded by a $500,000 donation from mgmresortsintl to The Mayorβs Fund for Las Vegas LIFE.
