The township will soon be home to one of seven medical marijuana dispensaries in the state after plans for the facility were unanimously approved by the Planning Board during a meeting last month.
Compassionate Care Research Institute LLC, operating as Garden State Dispensary, already has a location in Woodbridge and has plans to open a second site on U.S. Route 22 East in Union at the intersection of Monroe Street. It gained the board’s approval Sept 27, and will be the first business to operate a second facility in the state.
No date for the opening of the dispensary was given at the meeting, and Compassionate Care attorney Jeffrey Lehrer, responding to an email from LocalSource on Oct.18, stated that he does not have authority from his client to speak to reporters.
