Jamesburg approves certain marijuana businesses in select areas of town
The Borough Council approved an ordinance last week that allows certain marijuana businesses to operate in certain areas of town.
The Borough Council approved an ordinance last week that allows certain marijuana businesses to operate in certain areas of town.
As of August 2019, there were more than 60 local ordinances banning either all marijuana sales and growth, or just recreational forms of the drug.
For many, the issue has been a polarizing one.
In Somerset County, a proposed ordinance in North Plainfield to ban recreational and medical marijuana retail stores and facilities was tabled at a Dec. 2018 meeting, according to the clerk's office.
When it comes to marijuana, the borough council has taken up the anti-drug slogan “just say no.”
The council approved an amendment to its Land Development and Zoning ordinance this month that would ban the sale, distribution, cultivation, manufacture or dispensing of medical or recreational marijuana within the borders of the 0.9-square mile borough.
Adopting the amendment means that even if a Jamesburg-based business wanted to be considered for a medical marijuana dispensary, it would likely be denied since the borough code bans the practice.
