Township officials are looking to allow all classes of marijuana businesses in one section of the municipality, but those interested in operating them will have to pay hefty annual licensing fees.
Last week the Township Council introduced an ordinance regulating the number of licensed cannabis businesses in the township, along with their location, manner, times of operation and licensing requirements.
A public hearing on the ordinance is scheduled for 6 p.m. Aug. 19 in the council chambers.
The ordinance sets the annual license fee at $2,500 for cannabis delivery businesses. That fee increases to $7,500 a year for manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors; $10,000 annually for retailers and tops off at $15,000 for cultivators.
