DP Holdings Colorado, LLC, which formerly did business as Green Dragon, announced the terminations in a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification filed with the Florida Department of Commerce on Wednesday.

According to the filing, the stated reason for the terminations is that the employer “lost all of its assets in a public auction and is shutting down.”

“All terminations covered under this notice are permanent and all employment at the site/plant will be terminated,” reads the filing. It specifies that no bumping rights exist and there is no union representation among employees.

Approximately 30 of the terminated employees held the position of “cultivation technician,” while another 19 worked as “hand trim technicians.” In total, the terminations included eight full-time employees.

In 2021, Green Dragon purchased the facility for $10.5 million. According to the Palatka Daily News, the company estimated that it would create 300 jobs at the plant.
