Cannabis vote is coming in Somers Point
City Council is expected to introduce a measure July 27 that would allow a cannabis retailer and a distributor to operate in Somers Point.
City Council President Janice Johnston said last week the agenda is not official but that she expects the ordinance to be on it Thursday evening.
The governing body has been discussing the idea for years, ever since voters approved a statewide referendum in November 2020 decriminalizing adult recreational use and creating a marketplace for sales and taxation. The vote was 2-1 in favor, both statewide and in the city.
