The million-square-foot facility in Utica, New York, the former MedMen site, will be reopened by Nonna Farms, a small team of private investors co-led by Ajaie Gibson. Nonna’s investors have pledged $10 million to modernize and expand the production facility in an effort to restore the region’s foothold in the medical marijuana industry. Under the state’s medical cannabis program, Nonna Farms is the first social equity-owned vertically integrated Registered Organization, a designation that under state licensing allows the group to both grow and sell its products direct to consumer.
