Facing a lawsuit, Oakland has second thoughts on allowing legal weed businesses
A year after the borough said yes to non-retail cannabis businesses in designated zones, it's having second thoughts.
Council members are talking of possibly repealing three ordinances passed last year as soon as Wednesday.
Last week's hourlong council work session debate on repeal stemmed in part from a $6.8 million tort claim filed against the borough on Dec. 21 by Kusala Care LLC, seeking damages after the borough failed to act on its Aug. 20 application to open a cannabis cultivation facility in a warehouse zoned for that purpose on Muller Road.
