THE BRIDGE

Eco-Village

The Bridge is a 'for-purpose' real estate development company that acquires old properties like schools, malls, and warehouses, then turns them into "eco villages" in the inner city. Our properties are intended to be totally sustainable and self-contained mixed-use “Eco-Villages” with housing, commercial/retail space, co-working, urban agriculture, innovation/education center and entertainment. As such, The Bridge is a “world-class” model for other communities.

Coworking at The Bridge is the central hub for all entrepreneurs, business owners and students alike. These spaces are designed to be welcoming and encourage patrons to interact in the most productive ways.

WORK

Gaia Gardens at The Bridge is an Indoor Urban Closed Loop farming facility designed as a large-scale vertically integrated hydroponics and aeroponics system for local fresh food production of vegetables, leafy greens and herbs.

FEATURED PROJECT

GIANT BLEACHER GARDEN

MISSION

We are aiming to promote Regenerative Neighborhood Development by creating a sustainable “Bleacher Garden” and high yielding “foodscapes” throughout The Bridge Campus in Harrisburg (former Bishop McDevitt). We are repurposing the bleachers at the historic "RockPile". We are anticipating a yield of over 6,000 pounds of vegetables in the first year with increases of about 25% a year over the subsequent years as we improve the garden space and soil makeup. That is enough to supply 120 families with 50 pounds each of fresh vegetables over the growing season. Empower at The Bridge Foundation has partnered with local community organizations to bring this vision to life!
