The Bloomfield Planning Board unanimously approved an application from a military veteran who wants to open a retail cannabis dispensary at 368 Broad Street during their public meeting this week.
The application from Emerald Tea Company sought conditional use and minor site plan approval to operate a class 5 retail adult cannabis dispensary in a neighborhood business B-2 zone.
Jason Leisey – who owns the service-disabled, veteran-owned small business – and his attorney offered some details about the proposal during Tuesday’s meeting (watch the video below). Leisey, a New Jersey resident since 2010, is an Iraq War veteran who earned a Purple Heart after he was severely injured by a car bomb in 2005.
