The Hamilton Township Committee issued a resolution of support for a proposed marijuana cultivation facility on Feb. 21, bringing the business a step closer to opening.
Burn Factory, the proposed marijuana cultivation company, would be located on the 7300 block off the Black Horse Pike at Gene’s Farm & Garden Center, a family business for 71 years. The eponymous owners of the farm, Gene Annacone and Jeanie Annacone, are in support of the marijuana cultivation project.
The company consists of three people, including township resident Justin Annacone.
At the Feb. 21 meeting, Justin Annacone said he had relevant experience through the family farming business to prepare him for operating a marijuana-cultivation facility. He added that the property would remain under his family’s ownership, with Burn Factory operating in the space under a lease.
