I'm glad a lot of smaller towns and townships got these facilities. It will help their economies out a little bit.

Waterfall, PA is in the middle of the sticks. If they wanted one in that region they could have put it closer to route 522 or route 22.

Due to the high value of the product shipping costs are probably not much of consideration. Quick search says a pound of pot on average is about $2500. A single tractor trailer load would be approximately 110 million dollars.

Well, they divided PA into six geographic regions and awarded two to each.

I'm disappointed that one of the northwest recipients wasn't in Weedville.

When I looked up the address it on google maps it said it was close to the turnpike. I guess that isn't so bad. When I think of Waterfall I think of that three way intersection between Houstontown, Saxton, and Saltillo.

There's no interchange (nearest would be over at Fort Littleton) though.

And, no waterfall either.

There's an interchange over by Breezewood. I think.

The scoring was partially based on the viability of the business plan as well, so maybe that's one area where the Fulton County firm scored well.
