(OTCQB: ACAN), a cannabis company that is developing state-of-the-art cultivation, processing and product manufacturing facilities, announced today that Tim Keogh, CEO, is a featured speaker at the Canna East Compliance Summit in New York City.

AmeriCann is developing the Massachusetts Cannabis Center (MCC), a state-of-the-art cannabis cultivation and processing development in the midst of the rapidly growing Massachusetts cannabis market. The MCC project is approved for 1 million square feet, which will be developed in phases and is expected to be one of the most technologically advanced facilities in the nation.

As the first approved adult-use cannabis market on the Eastern U.S., Massachusetts has the potential to become the epicenter for cannabis innovation and research. Since November 20th 2018, Massachusetts recreational dispensaries have sold more than $41 million worth of cannabis products, including almost $5 million in the most recent week. Annual recreational retail sales are expected to total $1.3 billion - $1.6 billion, according to Marijuana Business Daily.
About AmeriCann
AmeriCann (OTCQB: ACAN) is a cannabis company that is developing cultivation, processing and product manufacturing facilities.
AmeriCann uses greenhouse technology which is superior to the current industry standard of growing cannabis in warehouse facilities under artificial lights. According to industry experts, by capturing natural sunlight, greenhouses use 25 percent fewer light bulbs, and utility bills are up to 75 percent less than in typical warehouse cultivation facilities. As such, AmeriCann's Cannopy System enables cannabis to be produced with a greatly reduced carbon footprint, making the final product less expensive. Additionally, greenhouse construction costs are nearly half of warehouse construction costs.
AmeriCann is also designing GMP Certified cannabis extraction and product manufacturing infrastructure. Through a wholly-owned subsidiary, AmeriCann Brands, Inc., the Company intends to secure licenses to produce cannabis infused products including beverages, edibles, topicals, vape cartridges and concentrates. AmeriCann Brands, Inc. plans to operate a Marijuana Product Manufacturing business at Massachusetts Cannabis Center with over 40,000 square feet of state-of-the art extraction and product manufacturing infrastructure.

Massachusetts Cannabis Center (MCC), is a one million square foot sustainable greenhouse facility in Freetown, Mass which is being developed by AmeriCann.
