An old pawnshop on Pacific Avenue is on track to become Atlantic City’s first legal retail cannabis shop after getting zoning approval Tuesday from the state’s Casino Reinvestment Development Authority.
The CRDA, which regulates zoning in the city’s Tourism District, unanimously approved an application from Sonraj LLC, to open a class 5 micro dispensary at 2415 Pacific Ave., directly behind Boardwalk Hall, a long-vacant property. The company will call the shop “The Healing Side,” according to its application.
There was no comment from the public. The meeting was held remotely.
Last week, the state gave approval to seven companies currently operating as medical dispensaries to open recreational sales, including the Botanist at 100 Century Drive in Egg Harbor Township, beginning on Thursday.
