 The first facility to legally grow marijuana in the city of Grand Rapids is looking to hire. Colorado-based Terrapin Care is hosted a virtual job fair Tuesday to start filling positions. It is also working to make sure workers include members of groups that bore the brunt of marijuana prohibition.

“We will be making sure that people of color have an opportunity to work for us in this brand new market of ours in Michigan,” Terrapin spokesperson Peter Marcus said.

Terrapin got the city’s coveted first approval for a 35,000-square-foot marijuana grow facility. The site at 2055 Oak Industrial Drive NE between Plymouth and Maryland avenues used to be home to the Kids Food Basket. Though it is still under construction, it’s already growing a crop expected to hit shelves at Michigan medical marijuana dispensaries as soon next month.
