Proposed P.A.cannabis facility secures council approval
Prince Albert city council has unanimously approved the development permit for a medical cannabis production facility at North Industrial Park. There was no debate about the matter at Monday’s night council meeting with councillors praising the quality of the people behind the proposal and the jobs it will bring.
NuvoMedic Canna Consulting said the operation could employ up to 60 people and would be ready for production within one to two years.
“The fastest it could ever happen is a year from now,” Company President Jamie Novotny told paNOW after the council meeting. “[But] we look at one and a half to two years, which is normal through this licensing system.”
The city approved the $15-million-project subject to the company securing a license from the federal government. It would be located at the old P.A. Bottlers facility at 85-11th St. NW.
