The Borough Council has banned all forms of retail cannabis operations within the borough. They plan to revisit the issue at a future date.
The ban, approved in a 5-0 vote Thursday, preserves the borough's ability to later accept an application for any form of retail operation.
Towns throughout the state have until Aug. 21 to adopt ordinances regulating marijuana sales or accept them by default. The deadline was set for 180 days after Gov. Phil Murphy signed a series of bills legalizing the industry to allow town officials time to research their options and adopt an ordinance.
Many towns throughout the state enacted bans in 2018, with Murphy vowing to sign a legalization bill if the legislature could agree on one. Still, the new law canceled out the old bans.
