**Results may vary depending on your particular facts and legal circumstances**
On May 2, 2022, the Pennington Borough Council approved our request and granted a Resolution of Support of the Application of Jersey Meds Management LLC submitted to the state for a Class 5 Cannabis Retail license.
On June 10, 2022, we obtained a letter from the Pennington Borough Zoning Officer certifying that the Jersey Med’s proposed location for the retail cannabis business conformed with local zoning requirements allowing the operation of a cannabis retailer as a “conditional use.”
On July 29, 2022 , the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission (CRC) issued to Jersey Meds a Final Agency Decision- Approval of a Conditional License Application for the proposed retail cannabis operation located in the Borough of Pennington.
On December 14, 2022, the Pennington Planning Board granted Jersey Med’s Application for Conditional Use Approval for the operation of a licensed retail cannabis business, by a vote of 8-0 (unanimous approval).
On April 27, 2023, we filed on behalf of Jersey Meds with the Pennington Council an application for a local retail cannabis license.
On June 5, 2023, the Pennington Council granted our request and adopted a Resolution authorizing the Clerk of the Borough of Pennington to issue a local cannabis license, with conditions, to Jersey Meds.
Since obtaining the Conditional Use Approval from the Pennington Planning Board, Jersey Meds was permitted to and has submitted to the CRC an application to convert the conditional state license to a final state license. The expectation is the CRC will issue to Jersey Meds the final state Class 5 Retail Cannabis license this summer.
Jersey Meds will become the first licensed Retail Cannabis business in the Borough of Pennington.
