Springfield Planning Board

Just weeks after the Township Committee approved of the first cannabis dispensary to open in Springfield, the Planning Board has received an application for another marijuana business.

This one has applied to operate a store at 355 Route 22 East, in a shopping center that also houses PM Pediatrics, a laser tag operation and the JMK auto dealership not far from the Mountainside border.

The business, The Goods I LLC, which is based in Oregon, will provide a full testimony at the Planning Board's Nov. 14 meeting.

The Springfield Planning Board on Monday night approved an application for the township's first marijuana dispensary.

Story Dispensary of Springfield, LLC would open at 130 Route 22, to fill a vacancy in a multi-tenant space that also houses Advance Auto Parts and Touka, a Japanese hibachi restaurant.

Dumpsters will be maintained by the proprietor of the business, and there will be no curbside pickup of orders at the site. All customers would be required to enter the building in order to make a purchase.

An applicant for the first cannabis dispensary that would open in Springfield will give formal testimony to the Planning Board in August.

In advance of that, the Springfield Planning Board held an informal discussion of the applicant at its Monday, July 11 Zoom meeting.

An applicant is being considered to open a dispensary at 130 Route 22, to fill a vacancy in a multi-tenant space that also houses Advance Auto Parts and Touka, a Japanese hibachi restaurant.
