Opt-In Marijuana Decisions In Chenango, Delaware, and Otego

The deadline for New York State municipalities to make a decision on opting in or out on allowing marijuana dispensaries and/or marijuana consumption sites has come and gone and the results have been revealed through the Marijuana Opt-Out Tracker. The deadline for a decision was December 31, 2021, with many municipalities making a decision just shy of that deadline considering the controversy and differing opinions of local residents surrounding this issue.

If a municipality opts out, they are giving up potentially significant income and I daresay that decisions were not easily arrived at in our rural region.
