A group of Brick Township residents are battling to stop a medical marijuana dispensary from opening in the town.
There are plans to transform the now-closed First Ocean Bank on Adamston Road into a dispensary. But residents who live across from the proposed site say that they do not want it to be built.
"Nobody wants it. I've spoken with probably 500 residents within a half-mile from here. I’ve given out flyers. I can't find anyone who wants it,” says neighbor Alex Marcupol.
Attendees at a public meeting last month in front of the Brick Board of Adjustment got into shouting matches over the issue, disrupting the meeting.
