Vancouver, British Columbia, Jan. 31, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via NEWMEDIAWIRE — Future Farm Technologies Inc. (the “Company” or “Future Farm”) (CSE: FFT) (OTCQB: FFRMF) is pleased to announce that it has entered a lease for its building located at 115 Harris Avenue in Providence, Rhode Island (“the Property”) to Herask Associates, LLC (“Herask”). Herask has been issued a provisional license to cultivate medical marijuana from the Rhode Island Department of Business Regulations (“DBR”) and was recently granted an extension to complete renovations and controlled environment agriculture (CEA) installation at the Property.
Herask and Future Farm have signed a five-year lease for the 15,000-square-foot building where Herask will house its cultivation and processing operation. Upon completion and final licensure by the DBR, the facility will provide high-quality, wholesale cannabis and cannabis-related products to Rhode Island’s state-sanctioned medical marijuana dispensaries.
The extension requires all renovations and installation to be completed by July 31, 2019. Herask has signed an agreement with local contractor Green Development to complete the work.
“We have been in discussions with Herask for quite some time and are excited to finally be able to call them our partners in Rhode Island,” states William Gildea, Future Farm’s CEO. “Now that they have received the extension from the DBR and enlisted Green Development as their general contractor, we are confident that Herask will be the cannabis supplier of choice within the state.”
