Citing "uncertainties" about the potential community impact, the City Council has introduced an ordinance prohibiting marijuana businesses to operate here.
A public hearing and vote on the ordinance are expected at the June 2 virtual meeting.
The ordinance would prohibit all cannabis establishments, distributors and delivery services from operating anywhere in the city, except for the delivery of cannabis and related supplies by a delivery service.
“This prohibition shall also apply in those parts of the city of South Amboy under the jurisdiction and authority of any independent state agency, commission or authority, notwithstanding any state law to the contrary," the proposed ordinance says.
