A company based in the northeast U.S. that specializes in indoor farming has announced plans to expand to the metro Atlanta area soon and create 100 jobs.

The facility in Locust Grove is expected to open in the first part of next year.

Since 2015, Bowery Farming has been fine-tuning the science of “vertical farming” at its indoor farms in New Jersey and Maryland.
