A COMMENT

Last evening the Street Life Committee of Commnity Board 8  held a meeting on the application for a canabis dispensary at 530 Main Street.

What is usually a standard hearing for liquor licenses, over 100 persons were on line for the last part of the evening, the discussion about the canabis dispensary. Over a dozen person testified about the negative aspects of having this business on Main Street.

The proposed proprietor stated that the front of the store would be a flower shop and the dispensary would be in another part of the former medical space.

One person testified in favor of the plan.

After requesting persons in favor of the plan, none came forward.  
The seven committee members voted against the application.

The next step is to present this application in front of the full Community Board on Wednesday, November 19th.  The meeting will be in person and on Zoom.  See www.cb8m.com for details.
