LAWRENCE, MI – Using energy efficient materials earned a marijuana grow facility a nearly $850,000 rebate.
305 Farms finished building a 44,000-square-foot building in March in Lawrence’s industrial park. It’s part of a plan to create space to grow 80,000 marijuana plants in 350,000 square feet of growing and processing space.
Consumers Energy gave a $849,023 rebate Tuesday, June 7, for the use of energy efficient equipment, a news release from 305 Farms said.
There are thousands of lights in the cultivation rooms, and the high efficiency lights results in 25% power saving, Peon said.
As 305 Farms continues building two additional facilities they plan to continue using high efficiency products, Peon said.
“I definitely think that there’s additional opportunity on the next building and third building to not only get a higher rebate, but also to kind of just raise the bar in terms of how can we position ourselves to be competitive for the future,” he said.
