All architectural and engineering drawings and specifications for the Bellingham facility expansion are approved, all materials are on order and construction has begun.

Completion of the Bellingham facility expansion is scheduled for August 31, 2017 and tenant / licensee, OCI is anticipating their first expanded harvest ready for shipment to retail by December 1, 2017.
