Growing Green

The Growing Green program allows the general public to lease NORA property for uses such as community gardens, urban farming, and pocket parks. Participants must fill out an application and provide information regarding the proposed use. Approved applicants lease the property for up to three years and will have an option to purchase after the 3rd year, if they have successfully completed their proposed project and have been able to maintain and insure the property for the duration of the lease period. The properties are routinely inspected to confirm compliance and maintenance. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
