US (CA): Marapharm to expedite greenhouse cultivation facility
The 1.25 acres of industrial property with a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for 20,664 sq. ft. of cannabis cultivation, 7,635 sq. ft. of processing and a 11,832 sq. ft. greenhouse, as well as administrative offices, located in Desert Hot Springs, California.
This project faced delays due to changes in predetermined structural engineering plans and technical determinations for equipment in order to allow the company to maximize its production. The company is now confident that the greenhouse facility will be constructed to be efficient with a cost-effective budget and timeline.
The greenhouse will be constructed by Next G3Neration. The Next G3N automated light deprivation system includes a 3-layer blackout material ideal for desert climates. The system has full airflow and cooling capabilities when closed and is considered a year-round workhorse by the Company.
Marapharm will use “rolling greenhouse tables” to eliminate the need for dedicated aisles allowing us to maximize our canopy space.
Priva will provide the irrigation and disinfection system. It will deliver an irrigation and disinfection system that allows for automation of nutrient delivery and a 98% capture of all water in the facility for re-use, including irrigation run-off and condensate water from the HVAC System, provided by Surna.
On May 1, 2017, the company announced that it had entered into an agreement to purchase an additional 7.01 acres located in Desert Hot Springs, California. The development had an approved CUP for 102,125 sq. ft. of cannabis cultivation and processing. The agreement was contingent on the approval of up to 40,000 sq. ft. of interim facilities. Extensions to escrow and due diligence has proven that in the best interest of the company, this acquisition will not be pursued. Marapharm will focus on the two properties they currently own and bring them to production.
