LEE â The developer for the townâs proposed second retail recreational marijuana store likely will get more time to seek a special permit to operate near the Lenox town line.
Forest Wilde LLC will submit a request to the Select Board for an extension, asking the three-member panel to hold the hearing, possibly in two months. The reason? The developer isnât done getting approvals from the Lee Planning Board.
The Select Board was expected to take up the permit request by the end of March. Now, it could be near the end of May. Select Board Chairman David Consolati said at Tuesdayâs regular board meeting that he is willing to grant the extension. The other two board members support the extension. The board granted Consolati permission to sign the request once the board receives it.
