We have a strong and proven process for property development, founded on building long-term relationships with our tenants and the leaders in the communities in which we operate. Our team has been granted approval to further develop properties in Arizona and Colorado to meet the needs of the surrounding communities and the tenants who occupy them, increasing property values and increasing our monthly rental revenue streams.”
“We are now in the best strategic position in our company's history, with a stronger balance sheet, a proven track record of property acquisition and development and the capital necessary to further grow our business in the rapidly expanding licensed medical marijuana industry," continued McLaren. “During 2016, we expanded and strengthened our board of directors and established an independent audit committee to enhance our corporate governance practices and provide strategic guidance as we continue to grow our business with intention and integrity. We are optimistic about our opportunities and the results we believe we can achieve in 2017 and beyond. As an early entrant into an emerging industry, we are uniquely positioned to capitalize on the groundwork that we have laid to date."
