MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- A first-of-its-kind facility opened its doors in Milwaukee. 

Team members from Rockwell Automation, Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin, and Fork Farms came together on Thursday, Nov. 12, to celebrate the opening of Clock Tower Farms. 

Located at Rockwell's Milwaukee headquarters, the indoor hydroponic farm will expand fresh food access to people across our area. 

The leaders of the project say they hope this serves as an inspiration to other facilities to follow in their footsteps. 

"It doesn't have to be built in our facility, obviously this paradigm can be replicated in other places, and we hope that it is," said Blake Moret, Rockwell Automation chairman and CEO. 

Clock Tower Farms is designed to grow roughly 200,000 pounds of fresh produce per year, which will be distributed through Feed America's network.
