Woodlake continues to draw cannabis growing and manufacturing proposals. The city is circulating a new development plan for a former fertilizer factory west of town at Road 196 and Avenue 344. The development called Consolidated Gardens Industrial Project would accommodate approximately 19,520 square feet of cultivation, manufacturing and distribution of cannabis and construction and operation of a new 31,020 square foot building for the cultivation, manufacturing and distribution of cannabis, for a total of 50,540 square feet of industrial space.
It is estimated that approximately 90% of the water utilized per day for cultivation will be recaptured says a city report.The proposed site is currently being utilized for industrial purposes, specifically occupation by a cabinet shop and a soil amendment distribution company.
Lands surrounding the proposed project, in the Redbanks area, are described as follows: • North: Dirt road (West Bravo Avenue) and a citrus packing facility.• South: Agricultural land. • East: Agricultural land. West: Road 196 and a fruit packing facility.
Project sponsor is Edward Good ,27515 Road 176 Exeter.The new manufacturing plant will be next door neighbors with the new 7 Point cannabis facility – the abandoned Sun Pacific packing house that will also grow and manufacture pot products. That site was annexed by Woodlake into the city and is under construction now – expected to open soon.
