The township council further solidified its stance on legal cannabis on Tuesday, passing an ordinance to endorse the New Jersey adult-use cannabis program for Franklin residents.
The law permits "the safe and appropriate siting of facilities for cannabis retail and delivery businesses within the Township’s Neighborhood Business (NB), General Business (GB), Hamilton Business District (HBD), and Retail District Overlay (RDO) zones."
The township has not imposed any limits on the number of cannabis retailers and cannabis delivery businesses that may operate in the designated zones according to the ordinance. Economic Development Director Vincent Dominach has provided and will provide support letters to whom have expressed an interest in siting such cannabis retail and delivery facilities within the Township of Franklin, according to the ordinance.
