COLUMBUS — More than 100 applications for medical marijuana processing licenses were turned in to the Ohio Department of Commerce by the Dec. 15 deadline.
The department will authorize up to 40 licenses, and some will likely be in northwest Ohio. While the list of 104 applicants released by the state Wednesday does not indicate where those companies propose to put their facilities, some had already applied for cultivation licenses, or had asked the Toledo Plan Commission to sign notices for proper zoning.
A pair of applicants already have provisional licenses for cultivation sites. Standard Wellness Company has proposed a medical marijuana business in the Gibsonburg's Clearview Industrial Park on the eastern edge of town, and was given a provisional Level I cultivator license, meaning it can have a grow operation of up to 25,000 square feet.
