HEARING TO CONSIDER CANNIBIS DISPENSARY IN LOCK HAVEN
There was a Conditional Use Hearing in Clinton County this month to discuss the opening of a medical cannabis dispensary in Woodward Township. According to the Sun Gazette, the hearing about Terrapin’s business practices were generally favorable. Some concerns from those at the hearing involve extra traffic around the proposed facility at 209 Woodward Avenue, but a witness said it wouldn’t be worse than a long ATM line that occurred there when the building was a bank. Terrapin would serve an underserved area as far as medical marijuana according to the PA Department of Health. Now, the supervisors in Woodward Township have 45 days to approve or deny the Lock Haven facility.
