Franklin County opts-in for state marijuana cultivation program for unorganized territory
Share
FARMINGTON Franklin County commissioners voted unanimously Tuesday to opt-in to all four tiers of the state adult-use marijuana cultivation program for the unorganized territory. They also approved two contracts for services at the jail.
The vote on marijuana means that those eligible in the unorganized territory can go through the state marijuana licensing process to grow marijuana. Each tier allows a different amount of marijuana growth.
Now that it is approved, the Maine Land Use Regulation Commission will create respective ordinances that deal with zoning and land use on marijuana where marijuana can be grown in the unorganized territory.
