Leesville City Council members, along with members of the city’s planning commission and Mayor Rick Allen, will be touring a hemp production facility in Singer this week as they determine whether the council will hear a request to approve a similar facility within its own city limits.
Earlier this month, the planning and zoning commission heard a request from Kirkpatrick Ventures to develop a CBD raw materials (hemp) production facility within Leesville. The location for the potential facility has been identified as 2109 Nolan Trace, otherwise known as the location of the old Tower Trailer Park off of La. 8. The facility is proposed to be built in a central location within an open 40-acre tract of land.
