Cresco Labs (CSE:CL,OTCQX:CRLBF) closed an agreement to sell its Lincoln, Illinois cultivation facility to GreenAcreage Real Estate for US$50 million.

As quoted in the press release:

Concurrent with the closing of the sale, Cresco has agreed to enter into a long-term, triple-net lease agreement with GreenAcreage and will continue to operate the property as a licensed medical & recreational cannabis cultivation and processing facility. Cresco’s Lincoln property is expected to be 220,000 square feet when completed, making it the largest such facility in Illinois.
