FirstPark, Maine’s most connected business park, welcomes businesses in the cannabis industry.

Marijuana, hemp and cannabis businesses are coming to Maine and FirstPark is the ideal location because of the state’s new laws for marijuana.

On June 27, 2019, Governor Janet Mills signed into law LD 719 governing adult use of recreational marijuana in Maine. Medical marijuana in Maine has been regulated since 1999. As more businesses open in Maine, FirstPark, Central Maine’s most connected business park, offers a premiere location for research and development, growing facilities and marijuana processors, among the many types of businesses well-suited for FirstPark.

To help businesses and start-ups in the marijuana business, FirstPark is located just off I-95 in Central Maine, a perfect spot to provide regional and national distribution and sales. FirstPark makes locating to Maine easy because we have an experienced planning committee that greatly shortens architectural and engineering review times, which means your business can be up and running faster.

With several business resources, Central Maine has three colleges in the area and fast-growing downtown Waterville is just a few miles away. In addition to providing you with real estate, FirstPark can be your development partner by providing access to a strong workforce and support your business in the cannabis industry.
