PharmaCann Closing Pennsylvania Cannabis Facility, Laying Off 60 More Workers
PharmaCann purchased the 18 acres of land in late 2018
PharmaCann Inc. will permanently close its cannabis cultivation and processing facility near Olyphant, Pa., laying off 60 workers on May 20 after the privately held multistate operator defaulted on its lease.
The company filed a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) with the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry on March 20, informing the department of its facility closure at 111 Life Science Drive in Scott Township.
Founded in 2014, PharmaCann purchased the 18 acres of land in Lackawanna County – in the Northeast region of the commonwealth – in late 2018, with plans to construct a 36,000-square-foot facility to serve Pennsylvania’s up-and-coming medical cannabis market that had commenced sales earlier that year.
At the time, Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce President Bob Durkin said PharmaCann was among the businesses “at the cutting edge of their respective fields” that aligned with Scott Technology Park’s long-standing focus in the industrial zoning area.
