Morristown set up a cannabis advisory board shortly after it passed an ordinance to allow marijuana businesses within its borders.
The five-member board includes the mayor, business administrator, chief of police, director of law and council designee. Officials said there is entrepreneurial interest in the town and are working on an application process.
"There have been lots of inquiries from a lot of potential cannabis entrepreneurs that are seeking to do business in Morristown," said Jillian Barrick, town administrator.
The newly established five-member board is responsible for reviewing business applications, but council members would be responsible for granting licenses and be responsible for oversight.
Barrick said Morristown hopes to solidify a "request for proposals" process by spring to coincide with the state's cannabis license application deadline.
