The county seat may become the county hub for recreational marijuana businesses.
An ordinance allowing licensed cannabis establishments in all six classes approved by the state to operate in the city is slated for a public hearing and final passage early next month.
The six classes of licenses allowed for recreational marijuana in New Jersey are grower, manufacture, wholesale, distributor, retailer and delivery.
The hearing on the ordinance will be held at 5:30 p.m. July 7 in the New Brunswick City Hall Council Chambers.
New Brunswick is one of only a few communities in Central Jersey looking to permit all types of marijuana businesses. Some communities have banned recreational marijuana business while others limited certain businesses to light or heavy industrial areas.
