Atlantic City looking to expand it’s already massive ‘green zone’ for selling, growing and consuming cannabis.
The current ‘Cannabis Green Zone‘ runs along most of Atlantic and Pacific Ave in Atlantic City.
Mayor Small and CRDA’s Lance Landgraf, are looking to enlarge that footprint to include Albany Ave, near Bader Field and Atlantic City High School.
Lance Landgraf is CRDA’s Director of Planning and Development. Landgraf is also the Mayor of Ventnor.
At-Large Councilman George Tibbit and 6th Ward Councilman Jesse Kurtz continue to vote against the cannabis expansion measure.
A public hearing and vote on weed expansion will takes place at the next AC City Council meeting on March 20.
Concerned neighbors prefer a more family-friendly town with public safety improvements, better lighting and safer schools. Instead, Mayor Small gives us open-container drinking, loud beach parties til 4am, teen crime, illegal AirBnB’s and 28 marijuana stores!
Council Vice President Kaleem Shabazz was originally against the cannabis expansion up Albany Ave, but recently changed his mind and buckled under pressure from Mayor Small.
Another dispensary approved this week at CRDA, Casino Reinvestment Development Authority meeting. That makes 29 CRDA Green Zone approvals so far.
Councilman ‘Animal’ Crouch says the burden of cannabis should be spread across the entire city.
Atlantic City Mayor / Atlantic County Commissioner Ernest Coursey supports a larger cannabis ‘Green Zone’. Coursey also supports the controversial auto-racing plan at Bader Field.
Note: Ernest Coursey runs controversial, all-cash parking concession at Bader Field.
All Atlantic City residents who want a safe family friendly beach town that attracts tourism needs to demand an end to more cannabis expansion we must pack the AC Council Chambers with families, teachers, church leaders, elderly, and businessmen on March 20
If 29 cannabis locations open up, 25 will be closed within a year. Can cannabis save Atlantic City? Hell no. Billion dollar casinos can’t even save Atlantic City.
Stop voting for these clowns. You have Murphy saying he wants to help addicts then agrees to expand Marijuana (and potentially shrooms). These people do not care and will ruin quality of life for all NJ residents. Just vote differently and demand for change.
