Commissioners weigh pot sales
ELLSWORTH The Hancock County Commissioners met with Maine officials Tuesday to find out more information about “opting in” to allow commercial marijuana enterprises in the unorganized territories. The discussion took place via the online meeting platform Zoom.
There was no resolution reached and no action was taken.
However, Commissioner John Wombacher chided his fellow board members about their attitude regarding marijuana-related commercial activity in the territories.
Both Commissioner Bill Clark and Commissioner Paul Paradis had said previously they would not support “adult use” marijuana operations in the unorganized territories.
Wombacher reminded the board that it has spent time in the past year working on economic development in the unorganized territories.
