Massive cannabis production facility coming to Lethbridge’s Sherring Industrial Park
LETHBRIDGE – A Calgary based-company is in the early stages of setting up a huge recreational and medicinal marijuana operation in the Sherring Industrial park, that will eventually service the entire province.
CEO of Economic Development Lethbridge, Trevor Lewington says “Fifty-First Parallel” has acquired five acres of land for the first two phases of its project, with the option of purchasing five more, if/when the company expands its operations in the future.
“If they were to complete all phases of the project, there would be about 180,000 square feet of greenhouse under roof.”
The company will start off with a facility capable of producing 3,500 kg of cannabis every year. Lewington says right now they’re working on getting the necessary permits and other paperwork.
