We are currently looking for a structural engineer to help verify the plausibility of this project. In addition we are hoping to find building owners who are willing to explore the idea of setting up our beta module on their roof. We are also exploring the potential of using other under utilized space in the city. If you think you have a contact that might help with any of these pieces please feel free to reach out.
