McCormack addressing the Planning Board explained that Sanctuary ACT is a NH non- \n profit looking to establish their new business at 37-39 Winter Street in Ashland. The business \n would need 14,000 square feet to operate in a warehouse measuring 60,000 square feet. The \n business to be established would be a medical marijuana growing site. Mr. Jason Sidman \n explained that the operation was under the direction of an award winning horticulturalist with 12 \n years’ experience growing medical marijuana. The growing operation would be in a secure \n facility. The business would establish a camera on premises that would record all business in the \n building and would be linked to the local and state police. Parking for the business would be \n inside the warehouse itself making outside onsite parking unnecessary. The present plan is for \n the medical marijuana to be shipped in a secure vehicle to a dispensary in Plymouth, NH, the \n details of which are yet to be worked out. Mr. Sidman and Dr. Syrek came before the Planning \n Board to inquire what the proper procedure was to establish a business in Ashland.","bbox":{"left":0.117686,"top":0.541255,"width":0.757942,"height":0.2119169999999999}},{"text":"Susan MacLeod, Chair of the Board, explained that 37-39 Winter Street would need to be \n inspected by the town would need to meet all current town building and fire codes.
