The Selectboard has approved a host community agreement for a proposed cannabis cultivation facility on the property currently owned by John Lasalle of Lasalle Florists.
The group, Whately RE Holdings Inc., is proposing an indoor cultivation site at 23 Lasalle Drive. The LLC is a newly formed entity and the site at Lasalle Drive would be its first project.
The operation — which still needs approval from the Planning Board, Zoning Board of Appeals and state Cannabis Control Commission — would begin as a Tier 1 5,000-square-foot grow that will be “progressively scaled up as needed,” Chris Cimini, a member of the LLC, previously explained. The host community agreement allows for up to 100,000 square feet of canopy, the largest amount permitted in Massachusetts (Tier 11).
The applicants previously explained that minor improvements would be made for security and lighting purposes, including a proposed perimeter fence. The greenhouses for cultivation exist already through the flower shop.
