Times Union · Cloey Callahan · last updated
Local residents in the Town of Wawarsing will now get a chance to weigh in on a new major marijuana facility proposed in their Ulster County town during a public hearing set for Tuesday, Jan. 18. The Town of Wawarsing last year opted out of allowing marijuana retail dispensaries and on-site consumption lounges within its borders. The applicant for the marijuana facility in Wawarsing is Valley Agriceuticals, LLC, which currently operates a medical marijuana manufacturing facility in the Town of Wallkill and four medical marijuana dispensaries across the state.
