The minority-founded company wants a highly sought-after license to operate a medical marijuana facility in New Jersey, specifically in Trenton.
“We believe that we can make a difference not only for the residents there through jobs and opportunity but to the community itself,” said Syphax, adding that the company will also teach residents how to own their own business.
Syphax has more than two decades of experience in owning a highly successful business. He is the founder of Phax Group Construction, a million-dollar operation. He started it from the ground up after he was released from prison. In his youth, Syphax was a drug user and drug dealer and spent years behind bars for a slew of drug-related crimes. But he has since changed his life.
