Brad Lewis, a division director at the state Department of Agriculture, said
the state is seeing the results. “We’ve seen commercial buildings that
have been vacant for years now being repurposed for hemp,” he said. “We’ve seen
jobs open up for the production of hemp. We have seen millions of dollars flow
into the state with hemp businesses. We’ve seen the state itself invest in hemp
businesses through grants and loan programs. We’re seeing new cottage
industries develop around hemp, as well as larger commercial companies that are
moving in, and we’ve seen agreements between universities and private companies
to conduct research.”
