LITCHFIELD Jan. 16, 2019
LiveWell Foods Inc., the company responsible for the proposed cannabis growing greenhouse at the Pontiac Industrial Park, was served a legal motion by Deslan AIM – the environmental firm tasked with cleaning up the site.
The statement of claim alleges that LiveWell Foods Inc. has not paid Deslan AIM for cleanup work performed at the site. The claim alleges Deslan is owed $1,679,118 by LiveWell.

After repeated requests for comment, LiveWell provided a brief statement from company CEO David Redimonti.
“LiveWell remains committed to the Litchfield project and is continuing to work with all supplier-partners involved,” the statement read in part.
Representatives from Deslan AIM declined to comment.
Litchfield Mayor Colleen Larivière also did not comment.
MRC Pontiac Warden Jane Toller said she spoke to LiveWell Chief Administrative Officer, Michel Lemieux, who simply said the scope of the project had changed, without any elaboration.
Work has been halted on the Litchfield site for months, and there have been no indications when it will resume.
