Peak Harvest Health (PHH), a Maryland-based medical cannabis manufacturing company, announced today it will officially pursue a medical cannabis cultivation license from the Natalie M. LaPrade Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission. The Commission publicly released the application today for potential bidders of up to 15 licenses anticipated to be awarded in Maryland in late 2015 or early 2016. PHH recently committed to locating its production and processing operations in Cumberland, Md., at the Riverside Industrial Park. In August 2015, the Mayor of Cumberland and City Council unanimously passed a resolution stating that they “exclusively support the application of Peak Harvest Health LLC to the State of Maryland for the cultivation and manufacture of medical cannabis in the city of Cumberland.” PHH projects up to 35 new jobs will be created in Cumberland during its first year of operation, and more than 100 new jobs by 2020.
