A request for proposal outlined how the city is looking for a consultant to oversee the project, which has a budget of $1.8 million.
Work would start in February, with the consultant working with an architectural firm to design a greenhouse that would connect to two adjacent buildings, using the front of the new greenhouse as a link.
If approved in the 2021 budget, construction would begin by the summer, with a completion date of December 2021.
The production greenhouses grow perennials and annuals for city flower beds, but could, in the future, be potentially accessible to the public, or used for classes, the document stated.
