The members of the Marlboro Township Council have introduced an ordinance that will, if adopted, prohibit the operation of any class of cannabis licensed business in the municipality.
“We understand (adult use marijuana) is legal, but we don’t believe it adds to the value of residents in Marlboro in terms of sale and production,” Mayor Jonathan Hornik said following the June 17 introduction of the ordinance.
A public hearing on the ordinance has been scheduled for July 15. Members of the public may comment on the proposed legislation at that time. The council members may take action on the ordinance following the public hearing.
The ordinance states the council members have “determined it is necessary and appropriate, and in the best interest of the health, safety and welfare of Marlboro’s residents and members of the public who visit, travel or conduct business in Marlboro to prohibit all classes of cannabis establishments, distributors or delivery licenses and
services anywhere in Marlboro.”
