LEE â Lee is a step closer to getting its second recreational marijuana store.
After a two-hour public hearing Tuesday night, the Select Board unanimously backed a special permit for Forest Wilde LLC to convert the Cork âN Hearth into a facility to manufacture and sell marijuana products.
The 3-0 vote followed mixed support for the project, dominated by the potential impact the facility would have on traffic on the state highway.
The Zoom meeting also featured comments and dozens of letters from Lee residents, along with several Berkshire businesspeople, saying the company should have a chance to succeed.
But, Lakehouse Inn owner Cody Gavin felt that the marijuana store didnât belong next door to his establishment.
