In the interim, the Company has brought two modular buildings onsite, which will be modified to meet Nevada State requirements for cultivation and processing. Upon Nevada State approval, the Company will be positioned to apply for recreational licensing, within the time frame of the new schedule as brought forward by the State of Nevada (July 2017).
