A medical marijuana company is moving forward with its plan for a two-story facility in the Accord Business Park in Norwell and expects to open to patients by next summer.

Nantucket-based Mass Medi-Spa received its provisional certificate of registration from the state Department of Public Health on June 30, which allows it to move ahead with its proposal for a 40,600-square-foot dispensary and cultivation facility at 400 Cordwainer Drive.

Norwell Town Administrator Peter Morin said he anticipates the company will apply for a building permit within the next few weeks.

Mass Medi-Spa said on its webpage that it anticipates opening a year from now at the site, which is near Route 3 and down the road from The Company Theatre.

Under an agreement with the nonprofit company, the town will receive $125,000 annually for the first two years in lieu of property taxes, Morin said.

After that, the town will get a percentage of the business’s gross earnings — with a guarantee that the amount will never be less than the estimated $165,000 tax value of the property, and will max out at $350,000 a year, he said.

Morin said selectmen and the police and fire chiefs looked carefully at Mass Medi-Spa’s plans, particularly for security. They also visited a medical marijuana facility in Brockton “to get a realistic impression of how these places operate.’’

“It was reassuring,’’ he said. “They are nondescript on the outside; unless you know it’s a medical marijuana facility, for all appearances it just looks like any other industrial building. Nobody was loitering..’’
