A company based in Wayne, Pennsylvania, is scheduled to appear before the city zoning board on Monday seeking a variance to construct a 57,000-square-foot, two-story cannabis-cultivation facility on Carman Street, north of Admiral Wilson Boulevard.
As Promised Holdings LLC owns the property around 1600 Carman Street, between South 16th and South 17th streets, and proposes to demolish long-vacant buildings to make way for the recreational marijuana growing building.
Tony Payton Jr., the As Promised chief operating officer, told TAPinto Camden in an interview in February that the firm would invest $12 million in building the facility and employ an estimated 75 people.
The applicant does not yet have a license as a cultivator from the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission. License applicants across the state have been appearing before local boards to get permission for their locations before formally applying for a license.
