The Kerrville-Schreiner Park has accepted a contract to raise medical marijuana at its 500-acre facility at Highway 173 and Loop 534.
“This will really help address our ongoing budget issues,” said the Public Works Director. “It’s no secret we have had some challenges meeting rising costs. This new revenue stream should give our staff some breathing space.”
The budget committee has already factored in the expected increase in revenues. Next year’s budget includes funds to upgrade its 23 cabins to condominiums, add a fleet of Hummers for use by campers, and install a PGA level golf course.
“We are also considering opening a section of the planting area for a ‘pick your own’ area where the public can come in and fill their own baggies. We are pretty sure this will lead to an increase in attendance.”
A spokesman for The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws seemed “tickled” when he learned they would be adding another community to their network of places recognizing the demand for medicinal marijuana.
“Ummm.... cool...” the spokesman giggled.
The locally harvested marijuana will be processed and sold at a retail location in Kerrville. Directors are looking at properties adjacent to Clark’s Bakery or Rita’s Tacos.
