WILLIAMSTOWN â A proposal to regulate marijuana cultivation is generating some disagreement among neighbors in rural areas of town.
The proposed zoning bylaw amendment to regulate licensed marijuana cultivation in rural/residential zones is taking shape as the Planning Board prepares to present it at a public hearing in April, the goal being to bring it to a vote at Town Meeting in June.
