Veterans Joseph Dai and Tanner Travers are submitting an application to the state for a manufacturing license to start a cultivation facility in Moorestown.
As part of the regulations established by the state's Cannabis Regulatory Commission in August, they need a letter from the township endorsing the business.
Township Council unanimously approved a resolution to provide that letter at Monday night's council meeting.
The business, operating under the name Pantheon LLC, is looking to set up a Class 1 Cultivation facility. It would start out at 5,000 square feet when it opens, and eventually expand to 10,000 square feet.
They have not yet decided on a specific location for their business, but they said they chose Moorestown because the township developed a plan quickly.
"A lot of municipalities are not ready for this, but you are open-minded and quick to help," Travers said. "The area is very nice. We want to be able to generate tax revenue to help you do what you want to do."
