The state spokeswoman, Kristi Jones, would not comment on the timing, but she said in an email, "The cultivation center permits are printed and ready for pick-up at the Illinois Department of Agriculture in Springfield." Last week, Cook County Circuit Judge Kathleen Kennedy granted a temporary restraining order preventing the state from officially licensing Cresco Labs LLC, which has won a permit to grow marijuana in the Kankakee area. The order came after PM Rx, a company that lost out on the permit sued, alleging the state didn't follow its own application requirements when determining Cresco as the winner.
