BROOKVILLE, Pa. (EYT) — Cresco Yeltrah LLC has announced it will begin work on a 46,000 square foot grow center in Brookville after being awarded a medical marijuana cultivation license today as part of the Pennsylvania Compassionate Medical Cannabis program.

In a release issued Tuesday, the company announced that renovation will begin on the 46,000+ square feet cultivation facility in Brookville immediately with the goal of Cresco Yeltrah products being first to market.

All growing will take place in a secure and climate-controlled environment to ensure consistency in harvests and prevent outside factors from affecting growth.

Cresco Yeltrah was one of twelve medical marijuana growers/processors awarded a permit today by the Pennsylvania Department of Health.

The application was submitted by the Hartley family of Butler County, Pa., who partnered with Chicago-based Cresco Labs, one of the nation’s leading multi-state medical cannabis operating companies.

Out of over 175 applicants in Pennsylvania, Cresco Yeltrah’s proposal received the second highest score.

“We are thrilled to be selected as a provider in this program and look forward to providing medical relief to patients across Pennsylvania,” said Cresco Yeltrah co-founder Charlie Bachtell.

“We plan to be the state leader in this industry by manufacturing the highest quality product, providing caring service to the patients and giving back to our home community.”

Cresco Yeltrah will develop a cultivation facility that will grow and harvest condition-specific strains of medical marijuana and produce non-invasive delivery methods to qualified patients.

Through sophisticated extraction methods, the facility will produce pharmaceutical-grade oral sprays, sublingual digestible tablets, transdermal patches and other forms of cannabis oil to provide users with a consistent, controlled dosage. Cresco Yeltrah’s brand name products will be available at dispensaries across the state to patients that have been physician-certified with any of the seventeen approved medical conditions.

“It is our intention to set the bar on corporate citizenship by focusing on philanthropy, education and product development and research,” said Cresco Yeltrah co-founder Trent Hartley.

Additional details on the facility are expected to be released soon.
