16 Dec Indoor Agriculture Facility Announced for the City of Estevan
Tomahawk Energy Services has announced their proposed plans to build a unique Indoor Agriculture Facility in the City of Estevan, with construction planned for the spring of 2021.
“This is not an ordinary greenhouse,” said Derrick Big Eagle, CEO at Tomahawk Energy Services, “this design and larger scope along with the concept plan has the potential to address food insecurity issues throughout our province, as well as nationally and internationally.”
Evolution Growers is a new company under the Tomahawk Energy Services umbrella. The plans for this facility include world class geothermal and solar technology. Industry leading robotics and other technology are currently in the design stage. This technology will be used for the day-to-day operations.
From entry level to robotics specialists, it is estimated this project will create substantial jobs for Estevan and surrounding areas. City Manager, Jeff Ward says it’s exciting to see diverse business opportunities coming to the Energy City. “Our Economic Development Board has been working hard to foster an environment that encourages new and unique businesses to open in Estevan. Projects like this will play an integral part of our economy’s success in the future.”
Evolution Growers hopes to establish itself as a sustainable business for the City of Estevan and surrounding area and looks to provide new markets and employment opportunities.
