Gloucester Township Council will vote on a proposed medical marijuana dispensary and the Blackwood West Redevelopment Plan overhaul when it meets Monday night.
Gloucester Township Council meets 7:30 p.m. Monday night at the municipal building, 1261 Chews Landing Road.
The first proposal would permit an alternative treatment center to provide a medical marijuana dispensary as a permitted use in the Highway Commercial Zone.
According to the proposal posted on the township website, Class 5 licenses would be permitted as a conditional use in the:
- Highway Commercial Zone;
- Commercial Residential Zone;
- Neighborhood Commercial Zone;
- New Vision Business Park District; and
- Blackwood West Redevelopment Zone.
Class 5 license holders would be allowed to operate as a permitted use in the Villages of Gloucester Township Rehabilitation District.
There will be a public hearing and final vote on a proposal to permit recreational marijuana businesses to operate in Gloucester Township when council meets Monday night.
Gloucester Township Council will meet at 7:30 p.m. Monday night at the municipal building, 1261 Chews Landing Road.
Council approved the proposal on introduction at its July 26 meeting.
Gloucester Township Council is considering whether recreational marijuana dispensaries should be allowed in the township, and at least one resident is warning against it.
"I've come across many children that are extremely stressed about the circumstances that they're under due to the fact that their parents are substance abuse victims," resident Leslie Soto Munoz said during Monday night's council meeting. "They are on all kinds of different drugs, but mainly stating that marijuana was the drug that springboarded them into other drugs."
