NEW MILFORD – In voting to extend a moratorium, the Town Council agreed that New Milford has “a lot to learn” before it can allow recreational cannabis sales in town.
“We just want to get a handle on this because it’s a major decision,” Mayor Pete Bass said in an interview with Hearst Media Connecticut on the sale of recreational cannabis, which became legal in Connecticut on July 1, 2021, and began in the state on Jan. 10, 2023.
In a unanimous vote, the Town Council voted to extend New Milford’s temporary moratorium on recreational cannabis sales for another year at its Feb. 26 meeting. The moratorium was imposed in January 2023 to gain more time to better understand Connecticut’s legislation for recreational cannabis sales and its impact on towns.
The Town Council’s initial vote to impose the moratorium in 2023 came the day before legal recreational cannabis sales began in the state.
