The Future

"Powerplant Park could make Richmond The Cannabis Capital of Contra Costa County"

During these challenging times, the cannabis industry in California has seen sales gains unlike any year since legalization. Many craft-growers are deciding to go legal, considering the challenges of conducting business in an increasingly dangerous black-market. With hundreds of thousands of outdoor and hoop-house grown plants taken offline by recent wildfires, many growers and large farms are now deciding to move operations indoors. 

PowerPlant Park’s has designed & engineered its 59 mixed-light hybrid greenhouses to produce the highest grade of cannabis flowers and extracted products in the State of California. Manufactured by Nexus of Colorado, (the premier provider of hybrid greenhouses), each unit built of glass & steel encompassing the latest technology in lighting, irrigation, environmental control, CO2 infusion, pest mitigation and feeding management.
