3 Pot Shops Vie To Open In Marblehead

MARBLEHEAD, MA —Marblehead residents will have a few weeks to register their thoughts and comments on three marijuana dispensary locations proposed in the town.

Two of the proposals are for retail spaces on Atlantic Avenue and one is for Beacon Street.

Each applicant hosted a virtual community outreach meeting with the next step in the approval process being the town choosing whether to enter a host community agreement with one of the applicants.

The Board of Selectmen has opened a 30-day comment period on the three proposals. Comments can be sent to Kyle Wiley in the Selectmen’s Office at wileyk@marblehead.org until Feb. 11.

Those wishing to view the presentations can do so for each of the three proposed locations here:

• Aro Cannabis, 222 Beacon Street
• Flower & Soul, 56 Atlantic Avenue
• The Green Loft, 28 Atlantic Avenue
