A B.C.-based cannabis company will continue rolling along with plans to construct a 25,000 square foot medical marijuana greenhouse in Logan Lake despite a recent  bump in the road.

MedFlora Pharmaceutical Inc. aimed to break ground this spring, but new regulatory hurdles are standing in the way of rezoning the vacant property at 184 Apex Drive.

“It has been delayed here slightly due to changes in Health Canada’s requirements,” said Randy Lambright, Logan Lake’s chief administrative officer. “We are still going through the rezoning process, but the applicant had to submit a whole bunch of other applications and information back to Health Canada because they changed their requirements.”

The company is working through the administrative hurdles, Lambright said.

“In talking with the proponents, their goal is still get in front of council in the second or third quarter for a rezoning application,” he said. “And then if council chooses to approve, the proponent’s goal would then be to start hopefully construction from their perspective by the end of the year.”

The greenhouse has potential economic benefits to the community, Lambright said, including the ability to provide 100 full-time jobs.
