Neptune has given approval for one more cannabis business in the township, although it will not be a retail store.
Victory Natural Farms received approval for a manufacturing and cultivation permit on Heck Avenue.
The business joins GDBS Distribution LLC and Jersey Shore Ventures, adding to the ranks of cannabis non-retail outfits for cannabis in the township.
Township Economic Developer Bernie Haney said that all three are awaiting full licenses from the state to begin operating.
Haney said that all three businesses will be located on Heck Avenue and be “nonpublic facing properties” as opposed to Zen Leaf, the town’s only retailer, which is located on Route 66.
“The difference is that the new guys could be here for 100 years and people won’t know where they are,” Haney said.
