It doesn't make a lick of sense to me that anyone would outfit a building in a populated area for mj production. Or at least be so "public" about it. Irregardless if mj is legal to manufacture and use in this particular place, as long as it's illegal over yonder there is still a criminal element to be prepared for. I.e. Some gang of hoodlums bopping you over the head and taking your stash to sell at a premium over there where it is in demand and not legal. I am reminded of Mendocino County, where it's been legal to grow for decades. Even where it's legal there are problems to be prepared for. I would not want my family to live in an area where this type of dangerous activity has the potential to happen.
Keyword "agriculture". Well of course. Buy an old dormant farm out away from the population and discreetly retrofit some buildings way out back behind a row of trees for your production. Do it on the down low even when it's legal to do so and certainly don't draw unnecessary attention to what you are doing.
How they went about this in the planning stage is puzzling to me. Maybe stuff is just different in Canada though.
The selective prohibition is what makes the commerce in marijuana dangerous. Because of the expense of being stealthy in its manufacture and commerce. As well as, the potential for criminal acts to exploit the prohibition. Prohibition has made the gangs super dooper rich.
At the end of the day, until it is just legalized globally, stealth is still your friend. It's not rocket science to grow great tomatoes. People do it all the time.
It's just weed for goodness sakes. Been around and easily attained for more than 30 years that I have personally witnessed in my life time. The legal hurdles adds way too much emphasis on such a simple thing. Darned lawyers.
Just my opinions of course.
