On March 31, 2021, Governor Cuomo signed into law the Marihuana Regulation and Taxation Act (MRTA). We have to ensure that our village can maintain a significant level of control over how the new law will be implemented within our community. While the MRTA legalizes the possession and use of cannabis immediately, the actual sale of adult-use cannabis will be heavily regulated by the State and is not expected to begin until late 2022 or early 2023.
I am going to put together a survey on how village residence feel about the new law. Also, whether or not we would be interested in receiving a direct revenue stream if retail dispensaries are located within our village. I am currently putting together a survey in the next week or so. Thank you
