Despite news of 200 employees, including top executives, being laid off by HEXO Corporation, the company still plans on opening a facility in the former Sears warehouse in Belleville.
The company announced the layoffs yesterday (Thursday) as it struggles with lower than projected revenues.
A spokesman for Quebec based HEXO said the company still plans on opening in Belleville but gave no specific time frame.
HEXO manufactures various marijuana based products.
