$20M marijuana cultivation facility planned for northern Oakland County – By Steve Pepple (Detroit Free Press) / Oct 19 2020
Construction of a $20-million, high-tech marijuana cultivation facility in northern Oakland County is under way with plans to begin operating by spring.
The 54,000-square-foot facility in Lake Orion will create about 65 jobs, according to Natrabis, whose name comes from a combination of natural and cannabis. Natrabis said jobs will range from plant managers to controllers to cultivation technicians to packagers and marketing and sales.
According to partners Nick Simpson, Mike Thomas and Ben Puraj, they plan on opening five retail outlets in Michigan to sell their private label cannabis. Future plans also call for a doubling of the cultivation operation with an identical facility directly across the road from the one under construction on a 5.5-acre site in the Liberty Tech industrial park near Brown and Giddings roads.
