EGREMONT â Voters opted to ban several cannabis licenses in Egremont, although those proposals still need to garner majority support at next monthâs town meeting to take effect.
The six cannabis-related ballot questions effectively would prevent any additional retail stores from opening other than the locally owned Devine Berkshires, which already has been approved, and prohibit cultivator, product manufacturer, craft cooperative, delivery operator and transporter licenses in the town.
Residents voted 148-93 on Tuesday to limit retail, 144-97 to prohibit cultivators, 150-93 to prohibit product manufacturers, 145-96 to prohibit craft cooperatives, 139-100 to prohibit delivery operators and 144-95 to prohibit transporters, Town Clerk Juliette Haas said in an email.
EGREMONT â There are no contested races on the ballot at Egremontâs town election Tuesday, but six ballot questions will have voters weigh in on whether to ban a range of cannabis licenses.
Voters can cast ballots from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday at Town Hall, 171 Egremont Plain Rd.
Candidates for reelection are Francine Beth Groener (assessor), Stephen L. Cohen (moderator), Mary Ann Brazie (selectman), John Wells (cemetery commissioner), Juliette S. Haas (town clerk), Margaret A. Muskrat (library trustee) and James M. Olmsted (tree warden). Stephen Kirk Lyle is also running for a five-year seat on the Planning Board.
