Green River Cannabis Company, Inc. has asked to speak with the Hopedale Select Board regarding its Host Community Agreement for an adult cannabis retail store at 54 Mellen Street, Unit A.

Town Administrator Diana Schindler says they will be on the agenda for the board’s meeting on August 9, 2021.

The company filed a lawsuit against the town after the Zoning Board of Appeals denied its application for a Special Permit in December 2020. 

At a Select Board meeting on June 14, applicant and company part-owner Constant Poholek, Jr. asked the board to consider a site change to 6 or 8 Charlesview Road which would be right next to another cannabis store (Caroline’s Cannabis) that is in the works. 

At the June meeting, Poholek also told the board there would be a case management conference regarding his lawsuit on June 22.
