Pitman 'opts out' on cannabis business zoning ordinance ahead of August deadline
The borough has decided not to allow the newly legalized cannabis trade to get a business foothold here, although officials do not rule out a change of position after the potential impacts of New Jersey laws become clearer.
The Borough Council on Monday night, on a unanimous vote, adopted an ordinance prohibiting licenses for any of the six classes of state-sanctioned cannabis businesses. The measure received its public hearing at an earlier meeting, although some residents spoke up Monday night.
