Another feature of New Jersey’s legalization effort designed to level the playing field for small-business applicants is the creation of conditional licenses. That gives an applicant approved by the cannabis commission 120 days to find a town and a property where the business can locate.
With a conditional license in hand, an applicant might be able to attract money from investors or “a town might roll out the red carpet because it wants a winner as opposed to an applicant,” said William Caruso, managing director at Archer Public Affairs, a lobbying firm.
In a move that opens the possibility of a medical marijuana dispensary here, the township has written several letters of support for vendors who want to set up shop.
The letters do not commit the township to having a dispensary but instead help establish relationships with vendors who have expressed interest in the town, and who likely are looking not only for profitable locations but for local governments enthusiastic about having a dispensary.
New reports coming from Burlington county recently have surfaced that Willingboro has issued several letters of approval rom companies seeking to establish medical marijuana businesses in the town but at this time we don't have additional information regarding the companies and speciifc locatins as of yet.
