INITIAL DEVELOPMENT INFORMATION OF THE ACREAGE PACKAGES ACQUIRED TO DATE

 

 

Project Area 1 (X-West). 44.84 Acres.

The first phase, and the heart of the Hemp Agro-Industrial Zone (HAIZ) is envisioned as a well landscaped and irrigated 7.7 acre Industrial Campus containing a 26,000 square foot processing/manufacturing facility; a 12,000 square foot decortication facility; a 10,000 square foot showroom and two model homes.

 

The second phase of the Hemp Agro-Industrial Zone (HAIZ), consists of an 11.2 acre agricultural testing and development site containing a 24,000 square foot greenhouse and laboratory facility; and 10 acres of irrigated outdoor industrial hemp cultivation for research.

 

The third through sixth phases (encompassing 17.65 acres) of this 44-acre project will be made available for manufacture of various other hemp-based products and technologies involving collaborative relationships with the Company’s vendor/partners.

 

Project Area 2 (Phase I). 166 Acres

Affordable housing. The current land use plan for these 166 acres contemplates up to 5 phased filings averaging 45 dwellings per filing (or 225 total single family dwelling units); with each filing buffered by open space areas and water features. The specific number of residential units will be subject to Town review and design approval of the finished subdivision plat.  

 

Project Area 3 (Future Phases). 664 Acres

Large scale hemp production. Contiguous with Project Area 2 (site of the 166-acre affordable housing portion of the project) the 664 acres will be used to cultivate irrigated industrial hemp which will be processed at Project Area 1, (decortication/processing/and manufacturing facility). Processed materials (hurd and fiber) will then be used to manufacture value-added products (hemp  blocks and panels) for use on-site in the construction of affordable homes (Project Area 2). Surplus materials and finished products will be sold and transported to other manufacturers and builders by truck or rail.

 

Being contiguous to Project Area 2, and with water delivery infrastructure already in place on this property, Project Area 3 also provides the land necessary for expansion of affordable housing to 2,969 dwelling units or more. Additional land will be systematically acquired and irrigated within the Company’s water infrastructure service area to increase hemp cultivation acreage as the project matures in years 2 through 5.    

 

Further to the Company’s news release of August 23, 2021, the Company is pleased to announce that it has closed the first tranche of its Secured Convertible Debenture for gross proceeds of $500,000. A second and final tranche of $500,000 is expected to close on or before September 15, 2021.
