4Front Ventures, a vertically integrated, multi-state cannabis operator and retailer, today announced the official ribbon-cutting ceremony for its 250,000-square-foot cultivation and production facility in Matteson, Illinois. The ceremony will take place on November 6, 2024, and will feature attendance by Illinois government representatives and local media.
This event marks the completion of the first phase of 4Front's multiphase expansion project in Illinois, with the facility now operational and meeting growing consumer demand across the state. The Matteson facility will serve Mission Dispensaries and wholesale partners throughout Illinois.
Mayor Sheila Chalmers-Currin, state officials, and local elected leaders will officially open the doors to the facility. Andrew Thut, CEO of 4Front Ventures, will lead the event and provide insights into the company's vision for the facility and its impact on the Illinois cannabis market. Media attendees will have the opportunity to tour the facility and view its advanced cultivation and production capabilities.
The Matteson facility features 47,000 square feet of flowering canopy and 70,000 square feet of manufacturing space, supporting the production of more than 10 in-house brands and thousands of products. These include flower, pre-rolls, concentrates, and other cannabis-infused products that will be available at Mission Dispensaries across Illinois and through wholesale partners. The facility also supports white-label production for other multi-state operators and cannabis brands, offering a diverse range of products to meet the needs of the Illinois market.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony will celebrate the facility's role in advancing 4Front's mission to deliver premium cannabis products while creating local jobs and contributing to the community. The facility has already created dozens of livable wage jobs in the Matteson area, with even more positions expected as operations continue to scale and expand.
Following the ribbon-cutting, attendees will have the chance to tour the facility, meet with the 4Front team, and learn more about the company's cultivation and production technologies. Media will also be invited to a Q&A session with leadership to discuss 4Front Ventures' future in Illinois and beyond.
