Officials are hoping the site of the former Beech-Nut baby food factory off New York State Thruway Exit 29 in Canajoharie will soon be home to another industry: cannabis production.
Three weeks after Governor Andrew Cuomo signed legislation legalizing adult-use recreational marijuana in New York, the Montgomery County legislature’s economic development and planning committee on Tuesday advanced a measure that if approved by the county legislature next week, would allow company E29 Labs to pursue a lease-purchase agreement for the site.
Ken Rose, the county’s director of business development, expects the legislature to pass the measure.
“And then within a couple of weeks that purchase and sale agreement with E29 would take place and they would be able to continue to get on site and continue to do their due diligence and get their architects and engineers on site,” said Rose.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) â When Grassroots Pharmacy received its first batch of the Johnson and Johnson COVID-19 vaccine in March, appointments for all 100 doses were booked up within thirty minutes.
âOnce the appointments filled up, we had to go to a waitlist, of course, and our phones were ringing every two minutes, said pharmacy owner Dr. Shelley Roberts. âIt didnât surprise me, but it was a little bit stressful.â
The initial wait list grew by over 600 names within the week, according to Dr. Roberts. Grassroots Pharmacy received its third batch of the J&J vaccine on Wednesday. Staff spent the morning working through the waitlist to fill slots for the 200 available vaccine appointments.
