GrowSpan has been building Venlo greenhouses for over seven years but this particular project began its research and design phase five years ago with construction starting over one year ago The result is a highly sophisticated facility featuring three independently controlled environments optimized for different crop types: one for leafy greens "This precision allows for tailored climate control ensuring optimal growth conditions for each crop," Will points out GrowSpan wants to show growers all the horti knowledge the company has gained over years active in the industry Spanning 25,000 square feet of dedicated growing space the entire greenhouse complex covers approximately one acre The facility is not only a research and development hub but also an active producer with surplus yields being distributed locally Showcases expertise in greenhouse design The structure showcases a unique powder-coated galvanized steel structure which has significantly reduced ambient temperatures within the growing area "This design innovation enhances energy efficiency and contributes to improved crop yields." Steel was indeed one of the main things the company wanted to address "One the main goals was to use the appropriate amount of steel without overkilling it to not drive the cost up The greenhouse is really dialed in to use the perfect amount of steel we have used a very high-end design software." This was not an easy feat to accomplish considering they had to take into consideration the roof needed to be strong enough to withstand heavy snow loads Each environment leverages natural sunlight when possible The leafy greens are cultivated using a hydroponic floating raft system while the strawberries are grown in Jiffy's Finesse Growbags with 50% coco pith and 50% husk chip are grown in Grodan Vital Slabs designed to optimize growth and yield so we wanted enough flexibility to switch crops if necessary." "We do not use any chemical pesticides," says Will "Biological control is most effective when you can get a healthy population of good bugs in your growing area before the pests become a problem Being proactive rather than reactive is key The type of good bug varies greatly on what pests are present Ribbon-cutting ceremony To celebrate the opening of the Venlo greenhouse GrowSpan is hosting a grand opening event open to the community "Attendees will include industry professionals and cannabis industry stakeholders," Will remarks GrowSpan will be busy prepping for its first summer in operation eager to assess the greenhouse's performance under warm-weather conditions For more information:GrowSpan Greenhouse Structures1395 John Fitch BlvdSouth Windsor, Connecticut 06074Toll-free USA: (800) 476 9715International: +1 860 528 9550[email protected]www.growspan.com The current head to head record for the teams are Roda JC Kerkrade 9 win(s) Roda JC Kerkrade haven't lost to VVV-Venlo in their last 8 meetings (3W, 5D).

In January a driver from Uzbekistan was recognised as a victim of human trafficking by the Dutch labour inspectorate. The man, who was working for the Lithuanian-based firm Baltic Transline, parked his truck in Venlo and refused to continue, claiming he had not received his full salary once in the six months he had worked for the company. “Walk round a truck stop and nine of the 10 drivers are from outside the EU,” Atema said. “Their employers ignore the rules and don’t observe the working conditions that apply here, because they know they’ll get away with it.” A spokesman for the labour inspectorate told NU.nl it was aware of the situation in Venlo. “Our colleagues have visited the site several times to investigate and gain more insight into the situation,” the spokesman said. “Up until now we have not reached any definitive outcome or conclusion.” We could not provide the Dutch News service, and keep it free of charge, without the generous support of our readers.

A man was killed in a fatal accident on the A74 highway Saturday evening when he was struck by a vehicle as he attempted to cross the road near Tegelen, just south of Venlo. The collision occurred at approximately 6:30 p.m., prompting an immediate closure of both lanes of the highway between Venlo and the German border. The man, whose identity has not been released, was pronounced dead at the scene from his injuries. Authorities said he had been attempting to cross the fast-moving highway when the crash occurred. Police have yet to clarify why the man was on the road, though they have opened an investigation into the incident. Among the possible causes under review is the theory of suicide, according to a police spokeswoman. In the aftermath of the first crash, traffic was backed up on the A74, which led to a secondary collision involving two other vehicles. Fortunately, no injuries were reported from the follow-up accident, although both cars involved sustained significant damage. Emergency responders arrived at the scene shortly after the secondary crash occurred, working to clear the wreckage and reopen the highway. At the time of the fatal collision, there were no border control checks taking place on the highway, a factor that may have contributed to the confusion surrounding the incident. The road was closed for several hours while authorities conducted an investigation, leading to major traffic disruptions in the area. The A74 is a key route connecting the Netherlands with Germany, and the closure during peak evening hours affected many travelers. Authorities have not released further details about the man’s identity, but local police confirmed they are working to gather more information. The investigation into the cause of the crash remains ongoing as officers continue to explore all possibilities. The highway reopened after midnight, but traffic remained slow for several hours as the impact of the accident was felt across the region.

The design of Venlo City Hall began in 2009. Construction commenced in 2012 and was completed in April 2016. The building opened for use in August 2016. While the primary focus for this initiative was in the built environment, it was driven by the aims of capturing long-term economic savings, protecting the environment and human health, and promoting skills and ambition in the city. The city council’s allocated budget for the project was EUR 53 million. It was supported by a loan from Bank Nederlandse Gemeenten - a local government funding agency. When the project came in under budget, EUR 900,000 were returned to the city council for reinvestment in other areas. In line with EU regulations, a European design tender was issued, with a brief to provide the most innovative vision for a C2C town hall. The winning bid would need to meet the overarching ambition to design and build a space that would benefit people, the environment, and the economy. Venlo City Hall was built on the edge of the River Meuse in an area that would benefit from regeneration and economic development. The new building has already catalysed renovation of an old neighbourhood factory which now contains living accommodation. The building’s living north facade comprises over 100 plant varieties which serve to improve the air quality outside the building. This living facade not only converts carbon dioxide to oxygen and filters particulates, it also provides a level of noise insulation and creates a habitat for birds and insects. An interior green wall helps to add moisture to the air inside the building. The building’s connections to natural systems also minimises the draw on resources. Rainwater is collected on the roof where it makes its way to a helophyte filter, a type of reed bank, along with wash basin and pantry water. The filtered water is then used for flushing toilets. In addition, 1,300 m2 of solar panels have been added to the exterior to provide power and shade. In a similar vein, the furniture in the building is also provided under a ‘buy and buy-back’ arrangement and is easy to disassemble for maintenance, ensuring workable components can be reused. Material choices within the furniture facilitate recyclabilityrecyclabilityThe ease with which a material can be recycled in practice and at scale.. Certain materials have also been avoided - in this case paint and glue, in part due to the lack of ingredient transparency and in part to ensure material health and aid the future recovery of materials. It is already known that the building’s green facade absorbs 30% of sulphur and nitrogen oxides in the air in the vicinity of the building, offsetting the emissions of particulate matter from local traffic. To establish a baseline measure against which to track progress, measurements were taken from the previous city hall such as air quality, temperature, air moisture and fine dust particles. The University of Maastricht is also measuring the connection between improved air quality and the reduction in the number of employee sick days compared to those in other buildings. Developing a long-term vision. In 2006 Venlo officially embraced C2C principles in its building projects as a means of generating innovation and economic growth. This paved the way for C2C principles to play a central role in the tender for the new Venlo City Hall. By embracing a new approach Venlo has been able to showcase what is possible in how we can build, design and service the built environment.
