It’s a greenhouse for hydroponicly grown tomatoes.
My guess is a greenhouse for growing roses or something to that effect. I would think vegetables would be grown outside and the processing plant might be bigger. Thats just a guess.

Bikerfry’s link is definitely it.

Pretty cool.

I gave you the link. Do I have to spoon feed you?
The North Tonawanda Project is a 55 MW gas-fired combined-cycle cogeneration facility located in Niagara County in the City of North Tonawanda and a 12.5-acre greenhouse located in the Wheatfield Township, New York. The North Tonawanda facility sells electricity under a long-term contract to Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation. Steam energy is delivered to a 12.5 acre greenhouse owned by the project. The tomatoes produced by the greenhouse are sold through local distributors.
