“What is going on with Cannabis in Porter Square?”
PSNA February Meeting
Thursday, February 20, 2020, 7:00-9:00 PM
Lesley University Hall, 1815 Mass Ave, 2-078 (2nd floor)

PSNA members and friends,

For our next meeting, we have invited both of the families/companies (and past presenters) who plan to open recreational marijuana shops in our area:

• Porter Square Remedies, LLC, proposing to open at the site of what used to be Wok ‘n Roll (1908 Mass Ave)
• Budega, INC, proposing to open at the current site of Stereo Jack (1686 Mass Ave)

We have also invited the City to bring us up to date on the revised zoning and regulations, as well. Marc McGovern could not join us, so we have asked another past presenter :

• Jeff Roberts, Director of Zoning and Development, Cambridge, MA

Since we met last on this issue, there has been litigation. This Crimson article explains the City’s temporary ban, which the MA Court lifted.
