Applicants Kristin Jordan and Louis DiCostanzo told the board that Brooklyn Wellness LLC has state approval and is on the Office of Cannabis Management map; the business seeks municipal special-permit approval in the Village of Newark ahead of opening a retail location at 510 W Union St.
"Our business Brooklyn Wellness LLC is on the Office of Cannabis Management Map and our business has been approved by the state," Jordan said, noting plans to hire between four and ten local workers and to use existing parking with additional shared plaza spaces. The applicants presented exterior and interior renderings and discussed signage restrictions; the board confirmed the location is properly zoned and approved both the final site plan and the special permit (Ayes 11, Nays 0).
The board noted applicants must comply with municipal sign approvals and state-regulated storefront requirements before proceeding to local building and occupancy permits.
