A quick update this morning on the Lowline’s Kickstarter campaign in support of a laboratory inside a vacant building of the Essex Street Market. It is the next big step as the local organization presses ahead with an ambitious campaign to build a park in an abandoned trolley station below Delancey Street.
When the Kickstarter ended this week, the Lowline had surpassed it’s goal of raising $200,000. Support came from 2,564 backers who contributed $223,506. The organization is now completing plans for the lab, which will include a smaller scale version of the park, complete with solar receptors on the roof of the market building in order to test sunlight channeling technology.
