A local company is proposing a marijuana manufacturing center be built in Jamestown, which in turn could mean big, green bucks for the city.

City Planning Commission members on Tuesday heard a briefing for a proposed new cannabis manufacturing center. John Volpe of the Jamestown Cannabis Company and Andy Johnson of EcoStrategies presented to members about a proposed development of the Cannabis Company’s 32-acre undeveloped property located at 1000 Allen St.

“We’ve submitted almost all our required permits and paperwork,” Volpe said. “The state Department of Environmental Conservation has signed off and the state Historic Preservation Office sent an archaeologist out to make sure nothing of historic value is on the land — we’re in the clear.”

Moreover, the building design must meet strict guidelines as set forth by various other state agencies and departments.

“The proposed building will be a 100-by-200-foot pole barn-style building that could be added onto,” Volpe said. “We still have to get approval from the New York State Office of Cannabis Management who regulates this industry. They have very strict criteria which we must meet.”

While the Cannabis Company will be located on a vacant lot, not all of the land will be allocated for the manufacturing center, and the community will reap some additional benefits as well.

“We’re only using 3 to 5 acres for the actual center,” Volpe said. “There will be zero impact on the environment, and in our first phase of operations, we expect to create about 30 new jobs. During our second phase, another 25 or more jobs will be created.”

Moreover, marijuana sales will have no impact for the surrounding residents.

“This is a manufacturing site, not a dispensary,” added Volpe. “As a matter of fact, there will not be any semi-truck traffic. Our shipping system requires a van the size of an Amazon Prime Delivery vehicle.”

The city Planning Commission will soon vote on the proposed site as soon as the rest of the state requirements are met.
