From Brian Lockhart, CT Post:
4750 Main St. – Petition of Robert Schulten d/b/a Nutmeg Dispensary, LLC – Seeking a special permit and a site plan review to permit the establishment of a medical marijuana dispensary in an OR-R zone.
Skittish city zoners a year ago shot down Schulten’s proposal for a marijuana farm in an old East Side warehouse at 50 Hastings Street.
Meanwhile medical marijuana is a year closer to reality in Connecticut. On Friday the state Department of Consumer Protection received proposals from 21 growers and 16 dispensers, Schulten included, vying for three producer licenses and between three and five dispensary facility licenses.
