LAFAYETTE, Colo., June 29, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — urban-gro, Inc.

Diversification of our offerings beyond CEA is not only a key area of organic growth for us, but also fosters a more efficient operating model by giving us the flexibility to allocate design resources based on demand variances in each market segment.
