Mayor Trevor Birtch says the facility will be beneficial to the Friendly City.

Mayor Birtch says this will create 12 new jobs as well. City council approved their application during Thursday's meeting.
The application proposed to have the subject lands rezoned in order to build a medicinal marijuana processing facility. It
He says the plant won't be concern to the surrounding community.
"The regulations that the federal government has in place for this type of facility dictates that there needs to be security and fencing and proper air handling."
