HALEDON — The Planning Board rejected a proposal for a new cannabis dispensary this week after multiple objectors, including public officials and a would-be competitor, laced into the application.
The Wayne-based business, owned by a limited liability company called This Budz 4 U, wanted to take over a Dunkin’ restaurant of 1,409 square feet at the intersection of Belmont and Haledon avenues.
Critics of the project pleaded with the board to think about how it would affect local youth. Among the opposition were the presidents of the Library Board of Trustees and the Manchester Regional Board of Education.
Raymond DeJonghe has owned a home on Church Street for four decades.
