2 Cannabis Cultivators Get Initial OKs To Operate In Cinnaminson

CINNAMINSON, NJ — Two businesses reached key milestones in their bids to grow and manufacture cannabis in Cinnaminson, earning preliminary approval from local officials.

July's Harvest LLC and Reilly Farms, LLC both want to operate out of Cinnaminson's Cannabis Establishment Overlay Zone — a portion of the industrial district that allows for certain cannabis businesses.

At Monday's meeting, the Township Committee passed resolutions allowing each entity to move forward in the application process.

July's Harvest hopes to operate at 2300-2302 Wallace Blvd., while Reilly Farms would go on 1400 Union Landing Rd.

Each resolution merely confirms that the businesses have selected locations that comply with the township's cannabis-zoning regulations. Both entities will need to complete several key steps before receiving full approval.

Opening a cannabis business in New Jersey typically requires a series of approvals from the state and local-government agencies. Both businesses will need to secure state licenses to cultivate and manufacture cannabis. If successful, they will then need to apply for full zoning approval from the township.

Each business will have 180 days to complete those steps, unless Cinnaminson's mayor and committee opt to extend their deadline, according to the resolution.

July Harvest's prospective Wallace Boulevard facility is about one block behind the Walmart lot, while Reilly Farms would operate nearby on Union Landing Road.

The township established the Cannabis Establishment Overlay Zone in the 2021 ordinance that regulates where weed businesses can operate. The area is in Cinnaminson's industrial and light-industrial districts.
