Cultivate's Leicester facility
Leicester cannabis firm Cultivate is planning a 130,000-square-foot cultivation facility in a new business park in Uxbridge.
According to documents submitted to the town in a bid to begin negotiations on a host community agreement, the company wants to build its facility, which appears to be a greenhouse-type building, in a 1.4-million-square-foot business park.
The Cultivate team was on the Uxbridge Board of Selectmen’s agenda Monday, but that discussion was postponed.
In a brief phone interview, Cultivate President Sam Barber said there would be about 90,000-square-feet of cultivation space at that facility. The company plans to keep its 10,000-square-foot cultivation operation in Leicester active.
Massachusetts recreational marijuana regulations allow a company only up to 100,000 square feet of cultivation space.
The company has been actively seeking expansion opportunities of late, including plans for retail cannabis stores in Worcester and Framingham.
Cultivate was one of the first two retail stores to open east of the Mississippi River when the Leicester store opened for recreational sales in November. According to its Uxbridge proposal, that location is the most well-known dispensary in the state with the highest traffic on cannabis consumer website Leafly.
If the company is successful and builds the facility at an assessed value of $7.2 million, Cultivate would immediately become one of the town’s top taxpayers, according to Cultivate's propsal.
