Local Bounti Corporation announced that it will mark the opening of its new controlled environment agriculture (CEA) facility in Pasco, Washington with a ribbon cutting ceremony on May 7, 2024, from 1:00 to 4:00 pm local time. The facility is expected to generate more than 40 jobs throughout Tri-Cities region and will focus on growing and selling Local Bounti's greenhouse fresh line of packaged leafy greens. Varieties include spring mix, butter lettuce, romaine crisp, green leaf, and additional blends.

The Washington facility spans across three acres and was seeded in January 2024. In April 2024, the facility completed the Food Safety certification, which came in with a score of 100%, and will be shipping to its first national retail customer's northwest division this month. The addition of the new facility fortifies Local Bounti's distribution to directly service local retail distribution centers within the Pacific Northwest region and provide additional capacity to meet existing demand from the Company's direct relationships with blue-chip retail customers.
