EATONTOWN – The Borough Council killed one ordinance for recreational cannabis in favor of an amended version that permits cannabis retails businesses to open on all of Route 36.
The first ordinance, introduced July 14, permitted cannabis retail on Route 36 east of the Route 35 intersection only, along with Route 35 south of Monmouth Mall. The council, concerned that the measure would not pass because some members wanted the entire Route 36 corridor opened, held a special meeting last week, and introduced the amended version.
The council will vote on the amended version on Aug. 5 at a special meeting. Municipalities have until the Aug. 21 deadline to make their own rules regulating recreational cannabis within their borders. If they don’t, they have to wait five years to do so.
