One of the applicants for a Toledo site is AgriMed, a Philadelphia-based pharmaceutical company that already has secured a license to grow medical marijuana in Pennsylvania.
AgriMed wants to turn the Spencer site into a marijuana greenhouse with an attractive glass exterior and a sophisticated security system, said Eric Mitchell, AgriMed’s medical director.
The project would cost $5 million and generate dozens of long-term jobs.
“We’re talking about using state-of-the-art glass technology in order to use natural sunlight,” Mr. Mitchell said. “We want it to be beautiful. We want to do a facade that people will be proud of in their neighborhood.”
The warehouse sits on the edge of a residential neighborhood, across the street from a row of about a dozen houses. On a recent afternoon, neighbors expressed a range of feelings about AgriMed, from fear that a marijuana greenhouse could increase crime to excitement at the prospect of locally produced weed.
