A multi-state cannabis company headquartered in Michigan plans to build a 72,366-square-foot cultivation site in East Hartford. C3 is in the process of expanding to three new states, according to CEO Ankur Rungta. That includes the proposed facility along Park Road in East Hartford. A request for a special permit is scheduled to go before the Planning and Zoning Commission on Wednesday. Mayor Michael Walsh said he met with C3 representatives in recent weeks and believes they have a well-organized plan that comes with millions of dollars in investment. While he’s skeptical about some of the touted benefits of marijuana, this proposal has his support. Between property, equipment and renovation costs, Rungta said the East Hartford project is a roughly $12 million investment. He said the venture could begin operations as soon as the second quarter of 2024, with plans to eventually employ about 70 people.
