Members of the Borough Council in Eatontown are backing a family’s application to sell medicinal marijuana at an alternative treatment center that could be opened and operated in the municipality.
A resolution outlining the matter must now be created and submitted to state officials for approval. Action will be carried out by council members after the documents are reviewed, and potentially approved, by state officials.
On Aug. 8, the governing body was approached by Ocean Township resident Peter Corallo, who is seeking municipal approval to open and operate a holistic treatment center in Eatontown.
The proposed business would specialize in the sale of medicinal cannabis to treat illnesses that have been diagnosed by medical professionals, Corallo said.
The proposed facility would operate in a commercial space near Industrial Way, off Route 35. Corallo said his family plans to purchase the building if its application to open the alternative treatment center is approved by state officials.
