PHOENIX, AZ--(Marketwired - Nov 3, 2016) - American Green, Inc. (
"The cannabis market is relatively new to AZ and while legal within the state, city officials remain understandably very vigilant regarding all aspects of cultivation facilities as they are built and operated. A properly designed and executed plan is what they want, and it is what we will provide them," said David Gwyther, the chairman and acting president at American Green. "After a great start which ground to a halt by mid-year and a budget that had grown so quickly that it exceeded the bounds of practicality, the board, acting president, and our team of specialists were able to corral the expenses associated with the grow facility this summer while maintaining momentum toward its completion. We are very pleased to have Pat Carrigan stepping in to bring our Phoenix Grow to fruition," Mr. Gwyther concludes.
"I saw a lot of opportunity and approached it with an open mind. The original plan laid out when the building was selected back in early 2015 was well designed and bringing the current version of that plan to reality makes sense," commented Pat Carrigan. "A repeatable system that produces top-grade cannabis in orchestrated quantities, while staying focused on strains that have documented medicinal qualities is an operational model that can generate revenues and increase those revenues through confident expansion. By successfully following this strategy, the company provides visible success and growth potential for current and future shareholders. Additional sites have already been identified in Arizona and elsewhere," Carrigan concluded.
The Phoenix cultivation site, whose floor plan was made available in a previous press release, has been organized to have a steady flow of product move through the facility rather than intermittent harvests of imposing size. The regulated model allows for smaller curing and trim rooms, permanent employees to staff those rooms instead of having to hire at sporadic intervals. This grow cycle strategy limits the exposure that less frequent and much larger harvests can create and promotes safety, consistency and quality.
The ten flower rooms are duplicates of current, successful operating cultivation sites that produce top quality product. Each room is capable of yielding 20 pounds of premium cannabis, five times a year; thus, producing a realistic 1000 pound annual yield or $1.5mm in gross revenue at current wholesale market prices. The key feature about a boutique grow facility like this is the consistency of medicinal quality flower and our ability to reproduce and achieve zoning compliance in a far greater number of potential locations.
Groups of up to six will be offered guided visits scheduled on Tuesdays and Fridays limited to two 30 minute tours at 11:30 and 12:00, currently planned to begin November 9th and organized around ongoing construction, with safety always taking priority.
