By Julie Manganis Staff Writer Dec 31, 2020 Dec 31, 2020 GLOUCESTER â A business owner who sought to open a marijuana business in Gloucester has headed to court over the city's denial of a host community agreement. Hooligans Enterprises LLC, a corporation formed by Mark Guinane of Manchester, had sought to open a retail marijuana business at the Gloucester Crossing shopping center. Guinane first filed a preliminary application with the state's Cannabis Control Commission in 2018. City officials said at the time that they wouldn't consider a host community agreement, or HCA, until after Guinane found a location and held a community forum. In their complaint filed in Salem Superior Court last week, Guinane's lawyer says Hooligans met all of the requirements laid out under the law and by the city, submitting a 120-page application in March, holding a community forum in May (after being forced by the pandemic to reschedule it from March), and following up on the city's requests for additional information regarding traffic, security and financing.Â
