SB 164 for urban farming potential

I am most grateful that both SBs 232 & 164 have passed through the House, and the bills are heading to the governor's desk.

SB 232 gives the City of Gary flexibility in selling city-owned property, and in turn gives more folks the opportunity to call Gary the place they live and work.

SB 164 requires our state to study microfarming and urban farming zones statewide, paving the way for communities all over Indiana to have access to locally owned, healthy food options.

Thank you for your continued well wishes, support and trust. I am grateful and honored to serve you.
