TRSSF - Nuns Lose Fight Against Cannabis Shop 150 Feet From Convent As Atlantic City Aims To Be East Coast Weed Hub | Benzinga
Catholic nuns in Atlantic City, N.J. lost their bid to block a dispensary just 150 feet from their home as city officials approved the business in what they’re calling a bid to make the area the weed capital of the East Coast.
Mayor Marty Small Sr.'s administration sees the new cannabis businesses as powerful economic engines, potentially attracting investment and jobs into the city. Kashawn "Kash" McKinley, the city's cannabis czar, echoes this sentiment.
"My focus is to make Atlantic City great, to make Atlantic City the East Coast hub for cannabis,” McKinley told Delaware Online in April.
