There will be a ballot question in November asking city residents whether a 2024 ordinance to expand the cannabis “green zone” to Albany Avenue should be repealed. The “green zone” is where recreational marijuana businesses may be located.
The Press of Atlantic City reports the petitions were submitted and reviewed by the City Clerk for sufficiency and found to have met the required number of signatures. There were 5,338 votes cast in the last general election for Assembly members, and state law requires that petitions be signed by at least 15% of that number of registered voters to get on the ballot. The number required was 801.
