Hemp-Based “Sustainable City” and The Colorado Hemp Agro-Industrial Zone

Global Hemp Group Inc. is preparing to build a hemp-based “Sustainable City” from the ground up, strategically located in a beautiful part of northwestern Colorado, a location in great need of affordable workforce housing.

The project will utilize hemp from its eco-friendly farm processed into carbon neutral/negative building materials at its nearby industrial campus. The hemp-tech “campus” known as the Hemp Agro-Industrial Zone (HAIZ) will serve as incubator for the development and production of new hemp-tech intellectual property and will also serve to showcase best-in-class carbon reducing building technologies. This unique initiative will be an open invitation to collaborate with leading hemp-tech R&D scientists, academic partners, community stakeholders, and hemp-tech start-up entrepreneurs from around the world. Our ultimate Corporate Vision is contributing towards the development of a zero-carbon footprint living environment supportive of a healthy community model for the future. In order to achieve this vision, the Company will become a leader in the establishment of a “Gold Standard” in hemp-tech building sciences.

The Company intends to prove this model out and then help others world-wide do the same, by securing strategic vertical integration from growing hemp and processing it into various industrial, value-added marketable products for the massive untapped North American hemp building market and beyond. Management believes in, is excited about, and is championing hemp as a key to the carbon reducing building sciences revolution beginning to unfold, and to proudly offer products the planet desperately requires to win the war on global warming.
