Fitchburg, Massachusetts, a relatively small city in Worcester County, has transformed itself into a mega town for marijuana.
“They’ve been very accommodating to us here in Fitchburg,” said Kyle Vigeant, vice president of Cultivation for Garden Remedies, as he gave a tour of their Fitchburg facility. “And, as you can see, we grow a lot of weed here.” “We haven't been actively recruiting them because we've laid the foundation and everything is in place,” said Mary Jo Bohart, Fitchburg’s director of economic development. “The locations exist, the zoning is good, the processes we have our smooth. They continue to find us.. Collectively, they occupy about one million square feet of property across the city.
