After construction stalled at its Chesterfield indoor farm and led to lawsuits and a bankruptcy filing, Plenty Unlimited is moving forward with plans to complete the work after all.

Enon Church Road had been hit with lawsuits and mechanic's liens from contractors saying they were owed payment for work on the project.
Plenty has secured commitments from contractors to complete construction on the Chesterfield facility as well as for financing for the company to continue operations, Anthony Grossi, an attorney for Plenty, told the court.
He said there was "complete consensus from our construction counterparties to complete the build-out of our Richmond facility, and committed capital to fund our operations for the foreseeable future."
