MILTON, Vt. (WCAX) - With adult-use cannabis businesses coming to Vermont next year, growers are looking to build facilities locally. The Cannabis Control Board is still ironing out some details, but some companies have already started other permitting processes.
The Cannabis Control Board is working to keep business local, focusing on small cultivators. However, High Fidelity, parent company to CeresMED, along with the Greater Burlington Industrial Corporation, filed an Act 250 application earlier this month for a 48,000 square foot grow facility in Milton.
“You can have a facility that’s 45,000 square feet, 100,000 square feet, but it doesn’t mean you can grow within the total balance of that,” said Kyle Harris, a member of the CCB.
