Five retail cannabis businesses have been granted authorization to operate in the borough once they receive state approval.
Borough Council members approved resolutions Feb. 21 supporting the local businesses. The five businesses will now have to apply and secure licenses from New Jersey’s Cannabis Regulatory Commission before they can begin operating in Highland Park.
The businesses authorized to operate in Highland Park are BLKBRN, LLC, 176 Woodbridge Ave.; Anja Life, LLC, 225 Woodbridge Ave.; Herbalicity, LLC, 246 Raritan Ave.; Floro Highland Park, LLC, 85 Raritan Ave.; and Main Street Dispensary, LLC, 311 Raritan Ave., borough officials said.
The designation of five retail cannabis businesses in town caps a years-long process of consideration of cannabis sales by the borough.
