Aspiring marijuana businesses weigh in on policy at Buena meeting
Rich Marolda Jr., a borough resident and the owner of Best Budz Buena, criticized favoring conditionally licensed applicants. He said the decision would unfairly benefit larger businesses that could more quickly complete the state licensure process, disadvantaging local farmers interested in entering the marijuana industry. He also said the duration of the solicitation period for proposals, 30 days, was too short.
“The only people who have a chance to move that quickly in the process are the larger outfits,” Marolda said.
