There is Plans announced for medical marijuana plant in Owen Sound which will employ up to 100 full time employees.
A Toronto-based company hopes to transform the remaining section of the former PPG plant in Owen Sound into one of the largest medical marijuana production facilities in North America.
The Canadian Bioceutical Corporation said the operation, which it announced Wednesday, will go ahead as soon as the firm receives the required licence from Health Canada.
The plant, once fully operational, will employ up to 100 full-time employees, both the company and city said in separate news releases.
“That’s the start. Who knows where it could go? But a manufacturing firm that employs 100 people is rare these days anywhere,” Owen Sound’s economic development manager Steve Furness said in an interview.
The prospect of the new plant and resulting jobs is welcome news in the city, which has seen several factories and other businesses close in recent years.
Owen Sound Mayor Ian Boddy said along with the jobs inside the plant, there will likely also be spin-off employment such as for transportation and packaging.
“We need it badly. We need the jobs and we need the assessment of an industrial plant again. These are the things that we’re after,” he said in an interview.
