AmeriCann announced the hiring of Dr. Brian Corr as Director of Horticultural Science and Operations. Dr. Corr, a noted expert in controlled-environment horticulture, is a 40-year veteran in the traditional horticulture industry with companies such as Ball Horticulture and Syngenta, which has a $43 billion market capitalization. Dr. Corr will lead AmeriCann's management services division.
"AmeriCann believes that for cannabis to reach its full potential as a medicine it requires the best facilities and operations," stated AmeriCann CEO Tim Keogh. "Dr. Corr provides the best of two worlds - the science of traditional horticulture with the specific needs of cannabis cultivation."
Dr. Corr stated, "AmeriCann and I share a vision for the efficient and scientific production of the highest quality medical marijuana possible to provide relief to patients. The state-of-the-art facilities that we are developing are unique for the cannabis industry and I am honored to take on this role with the company."
AmeriCann is developing a 53-acre property in Massachusetts (acquired from Boston Beer Company for $4,475,000 in cash), as the Massachusetts Medical Cannabis Center. The MMCC is approved for 1 million square feet and is expected to be one of the largest and most technologically advanced cannabis cultivation facilities in the nation. AmeriCann has plans to replicate the MMCC design in regulated markets across the United States.
