Township Committee members have set July 14 as the date for a public hearing on a proposed ordinance that will, if adopted, prohibit the operation of any class of cannabis business in Manalapan.
The ordinance was introduced on June 16. The public hearing on the ordinance will take place at the Manalapan Municipal Complex, 120 Route 522 and Taylors Mill Road, at 7:30 p.m. July 14. Any member of the public may comment on the proposed ordinance at that time.
The potential action in Manalapan follows the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory, Enforcement Assistance, and Marketplace Modernization Act, also known as A-21, which was approved by state legislators in February after New Jersey residents voted in 2020 to approve a constitutional amendment to legalize marijuana.
