The project consists of 4,320 ft² of mixed-light cannabis cultivation, 4,800 ft2 of outdoor cannabis cultivation, and construction of associated support buildings totaling 1,320 ft². Cannabis support areas currently total 1,496 ft². Eventually, the outdoor garden will be converted to a mixed-light garden by installing PVC frame hoop tunnels by hand and using light deprivation, such that all 9,120 ft2 of mature canopy will be mixed-light. Water for the project is provided by an on-site groundwater well. An on-site septic system serves the project’s domestic wastewater needs. Access to the project site is via Mad River Road, which is a county maintained road.
