High Hampton Holdings Corp. (CSE:HC) (“High Hampton” or the “Company“) is pleased to provide an update on its California operations. The Company has engaged Infrastructure Engineers, a multi-disciplinary municipal engineering firm located in Brea, California, to assemble and assist with the filing and processing of a conditional use permit (CUP) application for the Company’s 100% owned, 10.8 acre property situated in the cannabis industrial park in Coachella, California. Cannabis farming is a “conditional use” allowed by the zoning ordinances of the city of Coachella.
The Infrastructure Engineers team has assembled a group of professionals to navigate the complex governmental approval process and will facilitate the completion of the project design, city permitting, contractor selection, and construction management for the Coachella cultivation facility. Infrastructure Engineers has met with the city of Coachella to obtain pre-development guidelines. Based on this initial review and in compliance with Coachella’s zoning ordinances, the Company anticipates approximately 180,000 square feet of building area distributed over three 60 square foot facilities. Cannabis operation personnel, landscape, civil, electrical, and mechanical engineers will provide input to site plan layout and configuration.
The next phase of the development will include further city investigations, assembly of the pre-application, environmental impact report, and the receipt of city council approvals.
