EAST HADDAM, CT — A local businessman and town official's plans to open a retail marijuana shop were put on hold after a Planning and Zoning Commission public hearing, according to The CT Examiner. Robert Casner, chairman of the Economic Development Commission, has proposed the shop occupy a space in a Town Street building.
Casner submitted an application to open the shop in October before the Planning and Zoning Commission voted to impose a moratorium on marijuana businesses in effect until June.
The plans sparked controversy, with opposition coming from some residents and business owners.
