Hagerstown MD – An official with GTI-Maryland LLC said Tuesday that the company will be ready to break ground “almost the next day” if awarded one of the state’s 15 medical-marijuana cultivation licenses later this year. “We want to be first to market,” said Pete Kadens, a partner with GTI-Maryland. “We want to be one of the first ones, if not the first one, to provide medicine to the patients. We think that’s really important. We think first-mover status is critical and a real advantage for GTI.” (Herald-Mail)
