Preparing a Winning Cannabis License Application

As 2023 draws to a close and 2024 rises on the horizon, we look back on this year’s Cannabis Voter Initiatives and Legislative Measures that have set the stage for cannabis industry expansion and progress in 2024. We take account of what was won, dust off the losses, and prepare to continue down the path toward national expansion of both medical and adult-use cannabis.

With deadlines for new cannabis licenses approaching, applicants seeking guidance and momentum should look to urban-gro for assistance with the creation of competitive application packages. While urban-gro is known for professional design and construction services, the firm also excels in the licensing arena with many services provided in-house. Our team can give you an edge by collaboratively working with you to develop a strong application package with fast turnaround on essential supporting documents.

For Cannabis License Applications, One Size Does Not Fit All

urban-gro’s tailored approach means that we can customize the scope of work based on the client’s needs—whether that’s a specific piece of the application or complete turnkey support. This personalized approach helps to improve the chances of a successful application. We know that regulations vary by state and leverage our team’s extensive experience in the cannabis industry to ensure all requirements are addressed. We work collaboratively with you to fight for a winning license.
