West Amwell OKs plan for marijuana farm inside vacant church
A plan to convert a vacant church into a marijuana cultivation facility has been approved by the township Planning Board.
In a marathon meeting that ended after 1 a.m. Friday, the board approved the proposal by Green Medicine NJ and GMNJ Properties to convert the former First Pentecostal Prayer of Faith Church at the intersection of Rock Road West and Route 518 into the cultivation facility.
Green Medicine bought the 22-acre parcel with the 29,000-square-foot empty church building for $2.45 million.
