WKYT's Kristen Kennedy traveled to Yellow Springs, Ohio, to give us a look at Cresco Labs' cannabis cultivation facility. The company holds a license to move into Kentucky.
Farmland surrounds Cresco Labs' warehouse in Ohio. Its gray exterior conceals the green inside. The site can hold up to 10,000 cannabis plants.
