The Little Falls Township Council has introduced legislation to open the door to cannabis businesses, such as a dispensary, to operate within the Township. The Ordinance, which outlines the regulations and procedures for establishing and operating cannabis businesses in the area, has sparked a heated debate among residents and local officials.
In response to these concerns, Mayor James Damiano acknowledged the controversial nature of the proposal.
“Introducing a Class 5 license [a Retailer License] in Little Falls was a decision we held off on until we could observe its impact in other towns,” he said. “Introducing this ordinance is about opening a dialogue. It doesn't guarantee adoption; it's a way for the community to share their opinions. I want to hear concerns and address them."
