After Readington residents created a petition to deal with the marijuana smell emanating from a former Walmart, Verano, one of the largest medical marijuana cultivators who purchased the building, wrote a letter to the Mayor of Readington about what they plan to do about the odor.
“For more than a year, Verano and Readington Township have been designing, discussing, and approving a comprehensive site plan that includes measures to further seal the building to reduce odor emanation." Chris Fotopoulos, Executive Vice President - Legal Real Estate for Verano wrote. "Based on neighbor concerns, Verano has proposed to install additional carbon filters as part of the overall site plan at the property. We are optimistic that the engineering reviews will end shortly so that work can begin. We have the equipment on-site and will begin work as soon as local approvals are granted and permits are issued."
