A greenhouse, shown in December 2019, has been built at
Kimberley Park with the objective a starting a hydroponic tomato
operation.
Though he had every right to toss out a smug âI told you so,â Councilman Robert Clark wasnât biting.
Five years ago this summer when members of the Winston-Salem City Council voted to spend nearly $1 million in a risky hydroponics farm â they later threw another $500,000 on top of that â Clark was the lone voice to speak in opposition.
No one outside the fringiest, stingiest Scrooge-set could possibly oppose trying to alleviate childhood hunger, food deserts and providing job opportunities. But as a business proposition, dropping more than $1.4 million on such a venture didnât â and doesnât â make a whole lot of sense.

The N.C. Medical Board has set another disciplinary hearing involving Dr. Anne Litton White of Winston-Salem, this time to address allegations she falsely told a company mandated to monitor her practice that her office was closed during the early parts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The issue came to light when White tried to block a former employee from collecting unemployment benefits.
While testifying before the N.C. Division of Employment Security in August, White said the employee âquit. There . there absolutely was on-going work.â
The board filed its notice of charges and allocations Monday.
White has been the operator of Carolina Laser and Cosmetic Center since 2004.
