While cannabis businesses have emerged around South Jersey since recreational legalization, Cherry Hill officials opted to keep the township out of the industry — for the time being. But the public can help determine Cherry Hill's next steps at an upcoming meeting.
The township will hold the meeting July 10 in the Council Chambers — following the Township Council meeting that begins at 7 p.m.
Officials will provide a short presentation before listening to public feedback, said Township Business Administrator Erin Knoedler.
"The purpose is really to hear from the public," Knoedler told Patch.
In 2021, Cherry Hill was among many New Jersey municipalities that opted out of allowing cannabis businesses within its premises. When recreational use for adults became legal in New Jersey that year, local governments had six months to decide whether to prohibit any or all types of weed businesses.
