Lakeshore may soon be home to one of the largest medical marijuana growing operations in the world.
According to Mayor Tom Bain, CEN Biotech Inc. is looking to expand. The nutrition company submitted a request Tuesday seeking a zoning change for its property off Manning Road.
The company’s website states CEN Biotech plans to build an 80,000 sq. ft. multi-building facility to produce, package, and label medical marijuana. However, the operation of these tasks may still be months away.
Bain says the town won’t be making a decision until a town hall meeting is held so the public can voice their thoughts. Health Canada would also be required to sign off on the expansion.
Despite all that, CEN Biotech is still pushing forward with construction.
