Plainfield Cannabis Cultivator Subdividing Space Now!

PLAINFIELD, NJ — The Plainfield City Council voted unanimously to approve a pair of resolutions authorizing the split of a previously approved cannabis manufacturing and cultivation facility that the City of Plainfield says will bring it additional revenue. This move marks another step forward for the city's thriving cannabis cultivator community and its ongoing investment in the cannabis industry.

"This was originally approved for cannabis cultivation and manufacturing all for one particular vendor, for 132,000 square feet," said Director of Economic Development Zenobia Fields, referring to the West Front Street facility, which opened in late 2024. You can read both ordinances here (R 387-25, R 388-25).

This subdivision will be a Class 2 standard cannabis manufacturing facility, which is already permitted in the space. Class 2 facilities are able to produce the finished cannabis product edibles, oils, topical products, etc. compared to a Class 1 that can only grow cannabis. A cannabis cultivator operating under these classifications plays a key role in ensuring both cultivation and production run efficiently within state guidelines.

"That vendor is looking to subdivide off a little over 41,000 square feet to continue cultivation and manufacturing," said Fields. "It will not take up any additional space. It will be an existing approved 132,000 square feet, but it does mean an additional 1.1 million a year in revenue to the city based on our 2% ordinance."
