Cannabis micro-cultivation facility launches in New Britain
Brix Cannabis
Brix Cannabis' New Britain grow facility.
Connecticut adult-use cannabis dispensaries looking for different products are getting a new option in the market.
Brix Cannabis announced Thursday it has launched a micro-cultivation facility in New Britain.
Brix, which lists its business address at One Hartford Square in New Britain, operates out of a 10,000-square-foot grow space, but has plans to add 5,000 square feet of space annually for the next few years, the company said.
It will ultimately operate a 25,000-square-foot cultivation area, Brix said, with plans to initially focus on producing flower products, which are the most popular type of cannabis product in the state. Brix said it will eventually produce for the vapes market as well.
The company stems from an equity joint venture with multistate cannabis operator Curaleaf, which recently moved its headquarters to Connecticut. New Britain native Judy Prisco is the social equity owner with a 50% stake in the company.
Former Curleaf executive Patrik Jonsson, who now leads cannabis brand The Collective, and Connecticut native Gary Fett are also partners in the business.
Brix is joining a small number of micro-cultivators in the state. Only three have been fully licensed, according to the state Department of Consumer Protection. Four other large-scale producers and one disproportionately impacted area cultivator are also fully licensed to serve the adult-use market, DCP data shows.
Micro-cultivators can launch with up to 10,000 square feet of grow space, and can eventually expand up to 25,000 square feet, according to DCP regulations.
