PHOENIX, AZ--(NewMediaWire - Sep 19, 2017) - Today American
Green, Inc. (OTC: ERBB) has announced that after the
necessary time to crystalize the first phase of its multi-year
plan, it has started working in and around Nipton with locals and
visiting specialists alike. The overarching goal is to create the
first energy-independent town that embraces the legal cannabis
industry in every way that it legally can. The historic 'downtown'
of what was once a gold mining camp is known for its hotel, saloon
and general store, as well as the immediate surrounding acreage, is
planned as a cannabis hospitality destination. The company believes
this will galvanize the community and establish a blueprint for
other, similar areas in the country and perhaps elsewhere.
"What we found during the run up to today, and especially in the
last two months is that visitors here marvel in how time seems to
practically stop in Nipton. It never actually stopped, but visiting
the town and the beautiful Ivanpah Valley it sits in is often
described as magical. I don't believe we will ever run out of ways
that American Green can attract and leverage potentially hundreds
of merchandising, retail, and entertainment opportunities resulting
in economic growth that should only serve to revitalize the region,
its visitors, and the local population -- both current residents
and newcomers alike," according to David Gwyther, ERBB's chairman.
"But the attraction is what it is today and enhancing what it is,
not changing it to something else is the trick. Nipton must
ultimately stay 'Nipton,'" Gwyther concluded.
"Nipton has been a special place in my life on many levels.
After my husband, Gerry Freeman, passed away last year it gradually
became apparent that it was time for a change," said Roxanne Lang,
former town owner/operator and resident of the area for more than
twenty-five years. "But Nipton deserved more than simply selling to
an interested party. It deserves a party that will carry the dream
we worked hard at for decades and the dreams and interests of
others; someone to respect the town for what it represents. What
I've discovered in American Green is that, and even more. The
vision and energy of American Green and their people is clear and
has already made an impact. It is the only way I would have
imagined parting with such an important part of our lives and those
of so many others."
Dennis Benson, who has been a resident of the Ivanpah Valley
since the late 1950's and worked in, lived in and been a part of
Nipton as well as nearby Searchlight, NV and Baker, CA added, "Me
and my family have seen people including family come and go, live
and die here along with adventurers, prospectors, biologists, fans
of outdoor sports, tourists from around the world and from all over
the United States of America. My wife, Pam, and I have raised our
boys in and around Nipton and we like it the way it is. Which is
why we are very happy that it was American Green who has become our
new neighbor. In our time with them we have found a company, made
up of very real people, who aren't here to take Nipton from us, but
to help us bring back the fun that the Ivanpah Valley has given so
many people over the last hundred and twenty years. Hopefully other
people will now get a chance to see why we love it her.
Since announcing the binding agreement to purchase Nipton last
month, American Green has received over 1,000 inquiries on subjects
ranging from expressing interest in brand associations with the
town, employment opportunities, and retail space or marketing
inquiries. It should be noted here that while some of the initial
press the company received indicated the company's intent to
immediately begin leasing land to cannabis growers or growing the
herb, itself, no such activity is planned for the immediate future
and could only happen with the full approval from the County of San
Bernardino and the State of California, which it hopes to secure as
some point in the future. As the Nipton Project develops in the
future, the company continues to make plans to interact with
county, state, and, some day, federal agencies to ensure it is
acting well within all legal guidelines.
Nipton, established over 100 years ago, is one of many towns
throughout our country that have seen better days -- maybe the mill
or factory closed and took its production overseas, or perhaps the
mineral mine went dry. It is American Green's vision to use Nipton,
California as a revitalization model for other near-deserted small
towns across America while retaining as much of the town's and
region's natural charm, a directive that is paramount to American
Green.
