Your plant air volume is 3000 x 8 = 24,000ft3.
With 20 - 25 air changes/hour, you'll need a fan or blower that can handle 8,000 to 10,000cfm or air.
To achieve 65% RH at 22oC to 25oC, you can either cool the air first then remove the moisture, or you can remove the moisture first, then cool it. You'll need to consult a psychrometric chart for the information.
There are two ways to dry the air, refrigerated drying, or chemical adsorbents.
I'm not a HVAC engineer, so I can only provide you with some guidelines so that you'll have a basic idea what to raise when you meet with the HVAC engineer you're consulting for the project.
