Bunger Greenhouses to Expand Along Lafayette Road
Carl Bunger announces a major expansion of the Bunger Greenhouses three miles east on Lafayette road. The plan calls for three new glass greenhouses, a boiler and workshop, a 50 foot smokestack and a new heating plant with costs ranging from 15000 to 320000 dollars. Existing structures will be razed except for a 26 by 150 foot greenhouse, while outdoor beds and pansies will remain in bloom, reflecting a 21 year old operation expanding on 20 acres plus a later 40 acre tract.
