Mayor Daley toured the Growing Home Street Farm in Englewood. Growing Home, which provides job training for disadvantaged job seekers, is an example of a Chicago "green business" that is providing job training for disadvantaged individuals such as those who were formerly homeless or incarcerated. The Mayor wants to expand the job training model, which is the basis of the "Green Jobs for All" initiative. Supporting the initiative is a $700,000 grant from the Wal-Mart Foundation.
