OGDENSBURG, New York (WWNY) – The Ogdensburg City Council held initial talks on whether or not to allow cannabis sales in the city.
The discussion didn’t go far, but lawmakers haven’t ruled out allowing recreational marijuana dispensaries in Ogdensburg.
City manager Stephen Jellie says the sales tax revenue coming from marijuana sales “certainly incentivizes us not to exclude ourselves.”
The state law legalizing recreational marijuana in New York allows a municipality to opt out of allowing dispensaries by passing a local law by the end of the year.
