A marijuana cultivation and production facility in Palatka will terminate 113 employees just weeks after the facility and its assets were bought by a California-based cannabis delivery company.

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."
