BERLIN — The city council gave its enthusiastic support Monday night to a proposal by Cate Street Operations to develop a 4-acre commercial greenhouse on the former mill site. The proposal calls for using heated water from the Burgess BioPower biomass plant to heat the greenhouse.
While Burgess BioPower is the project developer, the greenhouse would be owned and operated by a third party, whose name was not released.
