At the USGBC Green Build conference, we went on a tour of a rooftop aeroponic garden on Rouses Supermarket. They used stimulus and historic tax credits to retrofit a huge historic building downtown. After Katrina, there was a plethora of vacant buildings. A number of developers adaptively reused structures for residential uses, in addition to office, and they needed urban grocery stores. Rouses is a mainstay in Louisiana and they rose to the occasion in a big way with groceries, restaurants, parking and a terrific rooftop aeroponic roof garden. Great views, great location, great herbs, and they sell all kinds of local and regional products.
