Varieties include spring mix, butter lettuce, romaine crisp, green leaf, and additional blends. The facility is expected to commence operations in the fourth quarter of 2023. 

 “Mount Pleasant is thrilled to welcome Local Bounti to the region,” said Nathan           Tafoya, Executive Director of the Mount Pleasant Economic Development                    Corporation.
