The facility will now be used to produce medical marijuana as well as recreational marijuana if applicable laws permit.

An application license has already been submitted to the regulator for Delta 3 greenhouse and approval has already been granted. Consequently works on converting the facility have already started and the initial 0.25 million square feet quadrant is expected to be completed by February next year.
