Harford Executive Cassilly Statement on 5-2 Defeat of Bill 24-037
County Executive Bob Cassilly commends defeat of bill permitting liquor stores and cannabis dispensaries near residential neighborhoods.
Harford County Executive Bob Cassilly today released the following statement on County Council Bill 24-037, which was defeated by the council last night in a vote of 5 – 2.
“I would like to thank the many citizens and the majority of council members who joined me in opposing Bill 24-037. This ill-advised legislation would have allowed liquor stores, and therefore, recreational cannabis dispensaries, in any of the 232 parcels countywide that are zoned B-1. Harford County is pro-business, but we are also pro-family and that is why our zoning code directs certain businesses away from areas that are intended to support residential neighborhoods.”
