Killingly — Plans are underway to construct the town's first cannabis cultivation facility in a vacant lot behind the Aldi shopping plaza in Dayville.
The Planning and Zoning Commission last month unanimously approved a special permit application submitted by Nautilus Botanicals, LLC to build a 15,000-square-foot cannabis cultivation and manufacturing operation at 738 Hartford Pike.
The location — tucked just behind The Shoppes at Quinebaug Valley, which houses an Aldi, Dollar Tree, Harbor Freight, Planet Fitness and Salvation Army Thrift Store & Donation Center — currently consists of 9,000 square feet of empty office space and an overgrown parking lot. '
Once complete, company representatives told the commission that the facility will have the capacity to grow up to 2,000 cannabis plants, which Nautilus Botanicals will process into wholesale smokable flower products and extracted oil for concentrates, vape cartridges and potentially edibles.
