UTICA — Utica keeps getting “greener” as the city now has a second recreational cannabis dispensary. Air City Cannabis, located at the LiveIT Downtown plaza at 1707 Oriskany St. W., opened its doors to the public on Wednesday and celebrated a grand opening after six months of exclusive delivery operations. While the cannabis retailer became the second recreational dispensary to open in Utica, Air City Cannabis was the first dispensary in the Mohawk Valley region to receive a state dispensary license.
“It has truly been an indescribable experience becoming one of the very first women-owned licensed adult-use recreational dispensaries in the state. There are no comparable words to describe how grateful I am to have met and worked with so many amazing people during this two-year process,” said Courtney Forester, owner of Air City Cannabis. “I couldn’t have done it without the outstanding dedication and commitment from my team. Together, we built Air City Cannabis, a new staple to the community and a great addition to the economic development and revitalization of the Mohawk Valley region.”
