New Medical Marijuana Provisioning Center, Grow Operation To Move Forward

[bobandtorey]

A plan for a new medical marijuana provisioning center and grow operation received its first OK from Pittsfield Township. 

At its Feb. 18 meeting, the Pittsfield Township Planning Commission considered a proposal from Perfect Solutions, a company wanting to open in an 8,100-square-foot light industrial building at 4501 Platt Rd. 

Location of the proposed center.

In a memo to the Planning Commission, Ben Carlisle, the township's planning consultant, noted only several small issues with the proposal, such as landscaping and hours of operation. Perfect Solutions planned to open at 7 a.m., but township ordinance doesn't allow medical marijuana centers to open until 8 a.m. 

Otherwise the business met most of the requirements of the township's recently-passed medical marijuana ordinance, though a license from the township clerk's office is still required. 

Craig Lyon, the township's utilities director, said the Commission asked staff to draft a conditional use permit request that includes language recommending the facility's approval. 

The applicant, Canton resident Matthew Baker, couldn't be reached for comment. 

According to plans submitted to the township, Perfect Solutions will employ nine to 12 people, including six caregivers. The plans also note caregivers won't grow more than the 72 plants allowed by state law, and only their patients can seek medical marijuana from them. 

Baker wrote in the plans that Perfect Solutions will "enhance public health" by operating a "Grade A, professional" facility that follows state law; contribute to the local economy by making renovations to a vacant property and paying township fees; and be a steady employer. 

"Perfect Solutions strives to be a recognizable, professional care provider who will uphold the highest standards possible in regards to our local responsibilities and our reputation within the Michigan medical marijuana community," Baker wrote.

with no money to be made with the plan this must be an act of compassion. kudos to the compassionate

oh i beg to differ...

 

there's money to be made...

 

you can change caregivers in less than ten seconds... all it takes is a signature on a LARA form... and depending on who you ask its up to you to wait for the card to come in the mail before completing any transactions...

 

i see the writing on the wall...

 

the possible grey area violations on this one are outstanding...
