The Township Committee voted in December to allow the municipality to receive proposals for retail sales of cannabis.
Now that a business, New Frontier Solutions LLC, is interested in setting up shop in the township, some residents are not happy about it.
"We thought they (the Township Committee) had our best interests at heart. That was a big mistake," said Sharon Corsiglia, 74, who has lived in the township for more than 50 years.
Mayor William Ruggieri declined to comment, citing the pending application.
A representative for New Frontier Solutions did not respond to a request for comment as of Wednesday morning.
The township has a Planning/Zoning Board meeting scheduled for 7 p.m. Thursday to consider whether New Frontier Solutions' application is complete for the zoning process to permit a Class-5 retail cannabis dispensary at 614 Union Road.
