US (NY): Cannabis facility plans changes to accommodate big trucks

Brad Termini’s proposal for a high-tech cannabis cultivation and manufacturing facility got the green light from the city almost two years ago to start building in South Buffalo. But that was before Termini’s California-based company realized it needs to widen its driveway and entrance so it can accommodate big semi trucks.

Termini’s Zephyr Partners is constructing a sprawling complex for cannabis cultivation and manufacturing, using 72.4 acres of vacant land in the Buffalo Lakeside Commerce Park, just off Tifft Street, east of Route 5.

Plans ultimately call for creating more than 1.38 million square feet of building space to grow cannabis plants, make a variety of products and conduct medical research – including on the potential benefits for cancer patients.

But the developer and its partner, Toronto-based RIV Capital and U.S. subsidiary Etain LLC, will start small at first, focusing initially on 10.8 acres of land at 310 Ship Canal Parkway – of which only 5.3 acres can be used – and another 4.9 acres at 15 Laborers’ Way. Both sites are north of the Union Ship Canal.
