Executive SummaryThe Saturn Institute, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is proposing the development of a state-of-the-art urban agriculture and trade school in Pontiac, Michigan. This project will transform a 100,000 square foot former school on an 8-acre campus into a community hub for agricultural education, skill development, and food production. With a total project budget of $26 million, the institute will offer hands-on training for all ages, focusing on sustainable farming practices, food processing, and related trades.Our mission is to empower the community, foster self-sufficiency, and create a sustainable model for urban revitalization through education and hands-on experience. The project is “renovation-as-we-grow,” with fundraising efforts directly supporting phased construction and operational costs.
