Residents Launch Petition Against Nutley’s “No Cannabis Business” Ordinance

The ordinance was introduced at the May 4, 2021 Township of Nutley Board of Commissioners open public meeting.

Also in that meeting, Township of Nutley attorney Alan Genitempo said once the State passes the law there will be rules on what the municipality can do within their jurisdiction.
