Devra Karlebach, CEO of GTI New Jersey, understands that winning one of the six Alternative Treatment Center licenses from the Department of Health was actually the easy part.
“Now the real work begins,” says Karlebach of building and opening facilities in Paterson during an interview with NJ Cannabis Media.
The immediate steps are zoning.
“Anyone who knows zoning, knows that in the state of New Jersey it can take 90 days, 120 days. It’s not a small undertaking,” she says. “We’re not seeking any variances. Our properties are zoned for the manufacturing and processing space and retail for the retail space.”
