Town Board Reviewing
Cannabis Retail Law

ONEONTA
The Oneonta Town Board discussed Local Law No. 1, “Cannabis Retail Dispensary Law of the Town of Oneonta,” during its January 11 public hearing and meeting. The draft law seeks to provide zoning district locations and regulations governing cannabis retail dispensary establishments.

“It is the express purpose and intent … to minimize the adverse impacts that cannabis retail dispensaries may have on adjacent properties and to provide standards for the placement, design, siting, safety, security, monitoring, modification, and discontinuance of cannabis retail dispensaries,” the draft law reads.

According to Town Clerk Ryan Pereira, the law is not yet official and is currently being reviewed for further refinement.
