Author: Jelena Martinovic | April 09, 2024 01:17pm

Massachusetts-based integrated cannabis operator Nova Farms has received a $20 million loan facility from Chicago Atlantic Real Estate Finance, Inc. (NASDAQ:REFI).

Nova Farms manages a Massachusetts cultivation farm, seven retail brands and five full-service dispensaries across the Bay State, Maine and New Jersey.

It was among the first businesses to secure licenses in Massachusetts when the state legalized recreational cannabis in 2016.
