The Chester Township Council will be resuming its discussion on its cannabis business ordinance, when it also transitions back to in-person meetings on Tuesday at Town Hall.
At its last meeting on May 18, the council passed a motion to table its ordinance banning any type of cannabis business operations in Chester Township, by a 3 to 2 vote, with Mayor Marcia Asdal and Councilman Michael Inganamort casting the dissenting votes.
Several members of the public encouraged the council to table the ordinance, one suggesting that recreational marijuana business models have been established already in states like California and Colorado. Two expressed concerns about stigmas attached to cannabis, stating that tabling the ordinance would permit officials and their legal counsel to review zoning questions.
