The Jersey City Cannabis Control Board (CCB) granted final approval for the Golden Door Dispensary to open and initial approval for Glue Lagoon Farms.
Along with the new grower, two other dispensaries were also approved. All three must secure Planning Board and City Council approval to open.
While there has been talk of changing the city’s rules, the City Council has delayed amending their law to address distance issues and limit the number of dispensaries for months.
CCB Chair Brittani Bunney was sworn in as Chair as part of an annual reorganization, and Jose Cantarero was again voted to be Vice Chair.
Golden Door Dispensary Approved to Open Soon
Golden Door Dispensary LLC at 638 Newark Avenue was reviewed first for final approval. According to his LinkedIn profile, owner Brett D’Alessandro lives in Verona in Essex County. They are among the cannabis companies doing business in New Jersey that won a grant.
Golden Door Dispensary secured a conversion to the annual license needed to open from the NJ Cannabis Regulatory Commission (NJCRC) last August.
The CCB initially approved the Golden Door Dispensary initially in October 2022.
