Morristown residents eagerly anticipating the official opening of the town's first cannabis dispensary were recently given an update on the time-consuming process.
The dispensary, which will be located on Ridgedale Avenue, will replace a defunct budget truck rental agency. The chosen location is on a busy route at the border of Morris Township, across from a former state motor vehicle inspection station, a bank, and a lumberyard.
The Morristown council first approved the resolution allowing the vendor Uma Flowers to open Morristown's first cannabis dispensary in late May 2022.
Uma Flowers, a Massachusetts-based company founded by two sisters, was selected over five local applicants for the council's first cannabis license, sparking some tension in the community.
