Butler County is getting a pot farm.

Ohio officials released a list of cultivators who received a license to grow medical marijuana on Friday, and the only place in Greater Cincinnati that made the cut is in Monroe.

So far.

Up to a dozen larger grow sites are expected to be announced later this month.

Hemma LLC will be located on Edison Drive near Rivertown Brewery & Barrell House in the Butler County city, according to documents filed with the state.

Several other Butler County communities – including West Chester Township and Fairfield – have banned or placed moratoriums on medical marijuana facilities.

In total, 11 different companies received cultivation licenses in Ohio. The next closest marijuana cultivator will be in Dayton, according to state officials.

These companies will get provisional licenses but can't immediately begin growing marijuana. They must first get their businesses operational and have a state team visit their facilities.
