US (NJ): Good Lettuce partners with urban-gro, Inc. to construct Pennsville farm

Good Lettuce Company, a cannabis cultivator and manufacturer, announced the launch of its first cannabis facility, which is to be located in Pennsville, NJ.

The facility will be approximately 180,000 square feet once fully built out and will be outfitted with equipment for cultivation, extraction, and other value-added processes. Phase one of the project will encompass roughly 60,000 square feet, with phases two and three adding 120,000 square feet. The company has awarded urban-gro with an initial construction design-build contract of $20 million for phase one of the project.

The company has been granted a conditional Tier VI cannabis cultivation and manufacturing license and expects its annual to be approved on January 12th, 2023. Good Lettuce is already working on the facility design and has engaged urban-gro, Inc., an integrated professional services and design-build firm, for the design-build of its turnkey facility.

Travis Ally, CEO of Good Lettuce, commented, “We are excited to announce this project, which represents an incredible opportunity to bring high-quality cannabis to New Jersey and to create jobs for the Pennsville community. We chose urban-gro as our design-build partner because of their proven execution, depth of experience in the controlled environment agriculture industry, and the breadth of their capabilities as a solution provider. We are looking forward to working with urban-gro to get our facility up and running as fast as possible.”

Bradley Nattrass, Chairman and CEO of urban-gro commented, “urban-gro is thrilled to work with Good Lettuce and provide our architecture, engineering, cultivation design, and construction management services for their new high-performance indoor facility in Pennsville. With our single point of responsibility through all aspects of the project -- from design through to start-up and beyond -- we bring an efficient approach to complex systems for the benefit of our clients. Our team is laser-focused on helping Good Lettuce bring their vision to life.”
