EGREMONT â If you are a marijuana outfit looking to cash in on this little state border town before its cannabis bylaws hit the books, think again.

âIt was not to make a zoning change to just allow this industry to come in and take over our town,â Rick Ramsay said of that ballot referendum. He says he is speaking for a growing number of residents in this town on the New York state and Connecticut borders who donât want to see a change of âcharacterâ in a town that has âa strong local culture,â as one town official put it.
