South River resident Tara "Misu" Sargente, owner of Blazin Bakery, the first legal, woman-owned marijuana edibles company in New Jersey, was approved to open a state-licensed cannabis manufacturing facility in the Russell Avenue warehouse.
Sargente, who also owns Green Alchemy, sought a use variance to run a 4,094-square-foot manufacturing facility in the warehouse.
A use variance also was approved for Cedar Fairmont Health Cultivators, of East Brunswick, to operate a cannabis manufacturing facility at the site.
An application for another cannabis manufacturing facility has been submitted to the borough by Carlos A. Erba for a property at 190 William St. owned by W./S.C. LLC of Sayreville. That application is scheduled to be heard by the borough Planning Board on May 16.
