Cannabis company looking to build massive production facility in Medicine Hat
MEDICINE HAT – Aurora Cannabis is looking to build its biggest cannabis production facility in Medicine Hat.
Aurora and the City of Medicine Hat have signed a memorandum of understanding confirming both are interested in seeing the company develop and operate a production and processing facility in the city.
It includes a 10-year 42 megawatt energy supply agreement. For Medicine Hat it means having a long-term large utility customer.
“We have more than enough capacity to meet this demand,” said Mayor Ted Clugston. “We have a power contract which we’ll make a rate of return on, I can’t say how much.”
