Approved Cannabis Investments in Westland Exceed $35 Million

On Monday, August 15, the Westland City Council approved the site plan for the third collocated cannabis facility currently allowed under the city's cannabis ordinance. 

LJA, plans to construct a 11,600 SF facility for cultivation, an 11,600 SF facility for processing as well as a 4,950 SF building as a provisioning center. The site is located off of Cherry Hill and Newburgh Roads and represents an estimated $8.5 million investment.    

Two other collocated cannabis facilities also received site plan approval earlier this year. Korval/Kinship, whos site is located at 37435 and 37601 Cherry Hill plans to construct two separate buildings comprised of one 21,313 SF building for grow and cultivation and another 6,080 SF building for retail. Their total estimated investment is $4.3 million.  

Quality Roots has also received approval for its site plan to construct a 46,700 SF building to house cannabis grow, processing and retail, located at 37800 Cherry Hill. Their investment is estimated at $18 million.  

"All three of these projects are very modern and extremely attractive new construction on vacant parcels within the community," commented Economic Development Director, Aubrey Berman. "These facilities will generate significant tax revenues and create numerous jobs for Westland." 

In addition to the collocated facilities, Westland's Cannabis Ordinance also allowed for two retail/provisioning centers within the community, both of which have also received site plan approval. 

Common Citizen, which will be located at 37655 Ford Road has recently broke ground on a 5,702 SF retail/provisioning center, representing a $3 million investment.  

High Society has also been approved to construct a 3,025 SF building at 8475 and 8455 N. Inkster Road on property that has housed a long vacant building which also showed blight conditions. Their investment is estimated at $2 million.  

"Our Ordinance was written in a way to ensure projects would maximize economic impact through new construction, revitalization of blighted properties and overall community benefit," Berman continued. "We are happy to see that our existing ordinance has encouraged projects that elevate our existing real estate and increase the aesthetic of our commercial corridors."
