A 45 bed eco hotel...
...that will provide accommodation for visitors and educate

energy-efficient building.
Edible hotel rooms!

OK, so how much will this all cost?
•We’ve estimated headline start up costs
•And GFA headline operating costs and revenues for the different parts of the eco-attraction
•This is a work-in-progress
•We still have a lot of fact checking to do
![Page 13: Green Food Adventures outline business plan](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110117/553b8e6e550346f92f8b46f0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Headline start up costs
•Estimated costs from now to Opening Day - likely to be in five years, all going well - are around £4.9m.
•This includes construction costs of around £3.35m for the grow houses, managed workspace/incubator and eco hotel.

How many living wage jobs?
•Green Food Adventures would directly create around 19 jobs plus a few apprenticeships.
•It would indirectly be responsible for a further 38 jobs in the managed workspace/low carbon business incubator.

wildlife, soils, water flows, flooding & social activities.

Cost of meanwhile
projects
We estimate that these will cost £25K a year for 5
years
