The first stand-alone medical cannabis growing facility in Grand Rapids opened with a virtual ribbon-cutting ceremony Monday, June 15.
Officials with cannabis company Terrapin Care Station were joined Monday afternoon by Mayor Rosaylynn Bliss and city commissioners, among other elected officials and nonprofit partners, on a Zoom conference call for the ribbon cutting.
Terrapin officials say the 35,000-square-foot medical cannabis growing facility at 2055 Oak Industrial Dr. NE will bring 30 new jobs to the area.
The medical cannabis grown at the facility will be sold to West Michigan medical cannabis dispensaries with plans to expand that reach across the state. In all, the facility’s licenses allow up to 6,000 plants. Officials say they’re only going to grow about 3,000 in the initial phases.
