Daylite cannabis originally was granted unanimous Township Council support on December 12 to open a recreational marijuana store. The Zoning Board of Adjustment approved daylite's application on March 1 to open at 1136 Route 73.
Based in part on the required Township support, the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission early this month approved a license for daylite. That license was the first approved by the state for a Mount Laurel retailer and among the first few to win approval in the 70and73.com area.
The store's owner, Steve Cassidy, told 70and73.com in an interview last week that he had plans to open before July 1.
However, a dispute with the Township over security measures at the store prompted Council to add a resolution to the Tuesday agenda to remove the support — a move that would have put daylite's license in jeopardy and could have put it out of business.
George Morris, the Township attorney, confirmed for 70and73.com at the Council meeting that discussions are continuing with daylite. Cassidy could not be reached for comment Wednesday morning.
