Chester Township and Borough's governing bodies are weighing their options in permitting or prohibiting cannabis business operations within each of their municipalities.
On Tuesday night, an ordinance is up for adoption in Chester Township to disallow any type of cannabis business. Chester Borough will also introduce a similar ordinance on Tuesday night, should its ordinance committee give a green light before its council meeting.
Chester Borough Mayor Janet Hoven and Chester Township Mayor Marcia Asdal each said in separate interviews with Patch on Tuesday morning, that municipalities have been given limited time to decide on allowing cannabis businesses after the public voted on permitting the use of recreational marijuana by individuals 21 years and up, in November.
