[Neighbors] Cannabis retail conditional use request

[Sandra Aumiller]

I am against any new cannabis establishments. I was concerned with the density when they were for medical use and so now reject the idea of more for any reason, medical or recreational use. The elephant in the room is that altering our mental state is not dealing with the root cause.  I vote NO to new cannabis retail.

Because cannabis retail has only recently been legalized by the state, the NHNA has not heard neighbors' opinions on this topic and does not have a policy for cases like these. We would like neighborhood input. In particular, we would like to understand the neighborhood's views on the density of cannabis retail locations along Central, from Girard to Washington.
