The agenda for Aug. 27 includes a work session on marijuana legalization and zoning.
The Bernards Committee last held a public discussion on evolving marijuana laws in July, accepting public comments during the meeting.
While the legalization of recreational marijuana use is on hold in New Jersey, the state already is making an effort to establish additional medical marijuana dispensaries throughout New Jersey.
At the meeting, Mayor Carol Bianchi herself said that she considers an important aspect of the issue to be zoning. "I want to make sure we have the proper zoning in place," she said of the township's reaction to potential changes in state marijuana laws.
Township Committeeman John Carpenter said he wants to see both recreational and medical marijuana facilities prohibited in the township.
