A group including several well-known Yorkers has formed a benefit corporation that's seeking permits to open a medical marijuana growing and processing facility in York City and three dispensaries in York County.
Five-Leaf Remedies Inc. incorporated in late 2016 and is based at 135 N. George St. in York City. The growing operation in York City would be located at 213 E. Poplar St.
Among the investors, according to its website, are local architect Frank Dittenhafer; Robin Rohrbaugh, president and CEO of the Community Progress Council; Bobby Simpson, CEO of the Crispus Attucks Association of York; and Janel Sacarellos, who, along with her husband Themi Sacarellos, owns Round The Clock Diner, among other businesses.
The investors incorporated as a benefit corporation, which is a for-profit company that structures nonprofit giving into its bylaws. Five-Leaf Remedies intends to make donations to "nonprofits representing patients and our neighborhood."
The website describes the company as a "business created by the community, for the community."
"Five-Leaf Remedies' top priority is to serve patients suffering from the seventeen conditions outlined in Pennsylvania medical cannabis legislation, with a goal of developing solutions specifically tailored to the needs of the York community," the site states.
The Poplar Street location "was purposely selected to contribute to the tax base and bring innovation to the heart of an urban neighborhood," according to the website. "Investors plan to spend more than $2.4 million to renovate the former tobacco facility at 213 E. Poplar St., expanding on redevelopment efforts in nearby Royal Square District. The highly secure, 35,000-square-foot facility will house the growing and processing operations for medical marijuana. "
Five-Leaf's website is asking the community to support its efforts by attending a March 13 York City Planning Commission meeting and a March 16 Zoning Hearing Board meeting. Both will be held at 6:30 p.m. at York City Hall, 101 S. George St.
