MONTAGUE Marijuana revenue will likely fund at least three new programs in next year’s town budget, including police training, school counseling and adult education programs.
Montague receives an “impact fee” from each marijuana-related business operating in town. Already there is one such company, 253 Farmacy, a retailer and grower that opened on Millers Falls Road in 2019. Three others, including two growers, are in the process of opening.
