SANDISFIELD â A company under contract for land to grow and manufacture wholesale cannabis clinched a financial agreement Monday with the town â should officials eventually grant it permission to build and operate.
But, the proposal by Sama Productions LLC off Abby and Town Hill Roads concerns residents worried that the townâs bucolic atmosphere might be sullied by cannabis commerce, harming property values. Residents also say that the project feels predatory, since the town does not yet have cannabis bylaws.
It prompted residents to ask the Select Board a number of questions Monday and to seek a six-month moratorium to prevent the pot outfits from coming to town until local cannabis regulations are on the books.
