A proposal from a Marlton company to open a medical marijuana growing and processing operation here now has official city support.
The City Commission on Tuesday night voted 5-0 in favor of sending a letter of recommendation on behalf of Garden State Releaf LLC to the New Jersey Department of Health.
The endorsement is based on a presentation from Garden State Releaf owners and representatives to the commission on Feb. 19, rather than a formal development plan. The company still would need to snag a state license in order to go ahead with its idea.
Before the vote, Mayor Michael Santiago said the commission only was extending to Garden State Releaf the same support it had to previous medical marijuana enterprises.
