July 8, 2017The state released a list this week of 185 applicants for Level 1 or Level 2 medical marijuana cultivation licenses. The state will only approve a dozen of each type.
The state has not disclosed the locations of the proposed facilities, but all of them had to file paperwork showing they are not prohibited from growing in the city and location want to locate in. Those records show the address of the proposed facility.
These forms, obtained from the city of Monroe, show two companies wishing to open a Level 1 cultivation facility, allowing an initial growing area of 25,000 square feet; and two want a Level 2 facility, starting at up to 3,000 square feet.
