BERLIN — The city has agreed to enter into a new purchase-and-sale agreement with North Country Growers for the 170-acre site the developer wants for its commercial greenhouse operation. The decision comes three months after the city decided not to renew an earlier option on the site off the East Milan Road.

The Massachusetts-based company has been working since 2017 on its proposal to develop two 10-acre greenhouses that would produce 15 million heads of lettuce and 8 million pounds of tomatoes annually and employ approximately 80 people.
