After a long impasse, the township and a medical marijuana dispensary have ended negotiations, meaning there will be no dispensary on Pompton Avenue.
GTI New Jersey reached out to the township in February seeking support for a dispensary in the former Chase Bank at 30 Pompton Avenue.
GTI New Jersey, also known as Green Thumb Industries, was the first of only six companies to be approved by the New Jersey Department of Health to operate "alternative treatment centers," Paul Josephson, GTI New Jersey's lawyer, said at a presentation in May. Its first dispensary was opened in Paterson in December 2019.
