A cannabis company is looking to turn a former golf course in New York into a data center campus.
Key facts
- Weed Inc. put Sugar Hill up for sale in late 2024 with an asking price of $2.1 million
- The company said the 44-acre site, located along Route 5 near the Lake Erie shoreline in Chautauqua County, represents a “rare large-scale development opportunity ideally suited for high-demand digital infrastructure
- New York State shut down the golf course in 2020 due to Covid, but Weed didn't buy the golf course to go golfing,” CEO Martin said in 2022, noting the site’s water rights and wastewater management
- First acquired in 2017, the company closed on its acquisition of the site in early 2022
Summary
OTC-listed Weed Inc. this week announced the planned redevelopment of its wholly owned subsidiary, The Four Winds of Lake Erie, LLC., formerly known as the Sugar Hill Golf Course property, into a data center campus.

"This is a pivotal moment for Weed Inc as we move to transform a dormant asset into a potentially high-revenue, future-facing infrastructure platform," stated Glenn E.
