His experience is traditionally with gaming and alcohol regulation. I don't believe he's being advised, but he is working alongside another gentleman in the Department whose name escapes me.

Thanks for the notes Jake.....very much appreciated............what does OPCL stand for?
You're quite welcome. An OPCL is an optional premises cultivation license.

*stirring the pot*

You expect growers to pay the OPCL fees even though the licenses will be in your name? As employer and licensee, that responsibility is yours. Say you go out of business a week after signing up five growers who each put up $500 for your OPCL licenses. Those growers are now out their cash and without legal protection, and must then begin negotiations anew with another MMC who might also charge them for OPCL fees. You should pay those fees, not them.
No, I don't expect growers to pay those fees. MMC's will ultimately how they want to decide how they want to compensate growers. I'm 99% sure we'll be covering the fees for growers, and I've had some private conversations with people in which I've conveyed that, as well.
