Notice of Adoption of Local Law by Town Board - Cannabis

NOTICE OF ADOPTION OF A LOCAL LAW BY THE TOWN BOARD OF THE TOWN OF EAST GREENBUSH SUBJECT TO A PERMISSIVE REFERENDUM


    PLEASE TAKE NOTICE, that on December 15, 2021, the Town Board of the Town of East Greenbush adopted a certain local law as follows:

    A local law opting out of on-site cannabis consumption sites in the Town of East Greenbush as authorized under Cannabis Law Article 4. 

    The Cannabis Law of the State of New York adopted in 2021 authorizes the establishment of licensed dispensaries of cannabis, and also licensed on-site cannabis consumption sites within the State of New York. Pursuant to that law, municipalities, including towns, were given the choice to opt out of the State licensing of such facilities within their jurisdiction. By the local law adopted above, the Town of East Greenbush opted out of allowing on-site cannabis consumption sites from being established and operated within the jurisdiction of the Town of East Greenbush. Pursuant to that local law, the State Board will not license such facilities within the Town of East Greenbush.

    The resolution adopting this local law is subject to a permissive referendum.
