EGREMONT â Neighbor opposition has forced a company to abandon its plans for an indoor cannabis-growing facility off Sky Farm Road in this South County community.
Sparkboro Corp./Prestige Worldwide LLC has pulled out of a purchase-and-sale agreement with Benjamin Barrett, who owns Berkshire Veneer Co. His property is part of a homeowners association.
Barrett said he will put his building back on the market. It is unclear whether Sparkboro will search for a new location in the Berkshires. The companyâs attorney, James Valeriani, did not respond to requests for comment.
Sparkboro isnât the first marijuana outfit that ran up against neighbor concerns while trying to set up shop in the Berkshires.
