Richard Rosen, president of Diagnostic Inc., hopes to build a $100 million power plant and greenhouse complex at the former BioEnergy site in Hopkinton. The proposal calls 20 acres of greenhouses which receive sustenance from the plant's excess heat and carbon dioxide.

According to Rosen, the power plant and nursery would bring 200 jobs to the area and about $1.5 million a year in tax revenue.
