On the RFA form, Virginia had a section on financial position, where it said the applicant must demonstrate the financial capacity of the applicant to build and operate a facility to cultivate Cannabis plants... Do you think that's where the $30 million came from? https://www.dhp.virginia.gov/pharmacy/docs/BOPRFA_PharmaceuticalProcessors.pdf In the Richmond district, Surterra said that if they were selected they would invest $10-$20 million. Maybe this is not an amount that had to be paid to anyone when applying, but the applicant had to demonstrate having those funds.
