The Eloy City Council approved a conditional use permit for a medical marijuana cultivation facility during Monday’s meeting.

Community Development Director Jon Vlaming said New Gen Real Estate LLC submitted its application nearly two months ago to readapt and reuse an existing building on Tweedy Road. Upgrades to the site will be made in order to provide appropriate security. The site is approximately 15 acres overall and consists of two parcels.

Vlaming said the medical marijuana cultivation facility will bring 30 full-time jobs with most positions earning annual salaries around $40,000.
