Chicago-based multistate operator PharmaCann Inc. recently revealed that it is closing its cannabis cultivation operations in Denver, Colorado, one of the largest licensed grow sites in the state, and is also closing a cultivation and production facility in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.

The company announced the closings to state officials on March 20, as required by federal law, and said the closings and subsequent furloughs will take effect on May 20.

“The entire facility will close on May 20,” the company’s chief manufacturing officer, Nathan Fete, wrote in a March 20 notice to the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment.

“The action is expected to be permanent. Employee layoffs due to this action will take place on May 20.” – Religions, on paper, through it Denver Post
