The new medical marijuana greenhouse in Grimsby is getting close to the finish line.
Tim Baiden, General Manager of the Aleafia greenhouse, says the new building on South Service road should be ready for an official opening soon, "We're looking to be full speed ahead early in the new year".
The facility takes over the old Freeman Herbs building. Baiden says, "the greenhouse stands at about 160,000 square feet in total with another 20,000 or so available for a quick expansion if need be." He adds, "the community has been embracing us quite well. We have had a lot of interest from people keen to work in the cannabis industry."
Aleafia will be recruiting workers with agricultural backgrounds to fill a vareity of roles at the greenhouse.
