AmeriCann recently completed Building 1 of the Massachusetts Cannabis Center (MCC), a  cannabis cultivation and processing development in the midst of the rapidly growing Massachusetts cannabis market. The MCC project is approved for 1 million s/f, which will be developed in phases and is expected to be one of the most technologically advanced facilities in the nation.
Building 1 is a 30,000 s/f cultivation and processing facility, 100% of which will be occupied by Bank, Inc.  AmeriCann has a 15-year Joint-Venture partnership with Bask, Inc. which provides AmeriCann with a 15% Revenue Participation Fee of all products produced at Building 1.  For a recent update on MCC construction, follow this LINK.
As the first approved adult-use cannabis market on the Eastern U.S., Massachusetts has the potential to become the epicenter for cannabis innovation and research. Since November 1st, 2018, Massachusetts recreational dispensaries have sold more than $316 million worth of cannabis products.  Annual recreational retail sales are expected to total $1.3 billion - $1.6 billion, according to Marijuana Business Daily.
