Global Hemp Group (GHG) has provided an update on the development of its Green Community in Hayden, northwest Colorado.
Global Hemp Group and Western Sierra Resources Corporation have been collaborating on this large-scale enterprise for the past six years. With the confluence of multiple factors occurring, it was decided that this was the perfect time to develop this project.
The collaboration utilizes GHG’s expertise in large-scale hemp cultivation; processing; hemp-based research and development; manufacture of hemp-based construction products; in-house construction experience utilizing hemp-based materials; and financial resources to acquire suitable land for each of these hemp-based revenue centers.
To date, GHG has invested US$1.9 million in this project.
The engineering and site design work for the 44-acre HAIZ project is nearing completion. Application for development approval was submitted to the Town of Hayden and the process is ongoing.
GHG is working with its planners and engineers in collaboration with WSRC to coordinate efforts and coordinate the application elements as its local “boots on the ground” partner to shepherd this project through the approval process.
The first phase of the HAIZ project is a 7-acre portion of the 44-acre HAIZ campus. This commercial/industrial phase includes a 12,000 sq ft processing plant, 26,000 sq ft manufacturing facility, 10,000 sq ft showroom/administration building, 2 model homes and 12,000 sq ft greenhouse/R&D facility.
The processing plant will contain decortication and cottonization equipment to separate the harvested hemp into hurd, fibre, and powdered elements. The manufacturing facility will contain the equipment to produce hempcrete blocks and hempcrete panels that will be used in the construction of the green community.
Patten Associates, Inc. has been engaged to provide creative project management, land planning and design solutions for the project.
The company continues to explore initiatives to reduce the carbon footprint of the homes that it will be constructing in Hayden, with the goal of building a truly Green and Sustainable Community. This will be achieved with the use of hempcrete (hemp block technology and pre-fab hemp panels) and other hemp-based building materials manufactured onsite in Hayden.
Global Hemp Group is a Vancouver-based company focused on executing a multi-phased strategy to become a leader in the industrial hemp industry in the United States.
The current phase of the strategy focuses on the development of “sustainable” and “green” value-added industrial hemp products utilizing the processing of the entirety of the hemp plant for multi-merchantable applications, as will be showcased at the Colorado Hemp Agro-Industrial Zone (HAIZ) project in Hayden Colorado.
Shares of Global Hemp Group Inc. (GHG) are up 25 per cent on the day, trading at C$0.025 per share at 1:45 pm EST.
