Jeanne Carmichael, of Lee, and Cassandra Purdy, of Roxbury, Conn., principals of Forest Wilde, now will seek a license from the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission to operate.
The Lee Planning Board already has approved the project’s site plan and a 380-square-foot addition to the front for secured storage of cannabis products. “I think we’re overreacting to what’s going to happen, based on Canna,” said Selectwoman Patricia Carlino.Ĭarlino was referring to similar fears about traffic troubles - they never materialized - after Canna Provisions opened the town’s first pot shop nearly two years ago, on Housatonic Street just off the Massachusetts Turnpike. The Select Board agreed to review the traffic issue, as well as odor control from the building, after three months, six months and one year of operation. Proponents felt that the impact wouldn’t be a problem and the business should be welcomed into town. The Lakehouse Inn owners also were among the opponents who felt that the winding stretch of Route 20 would pose a problem for vehicles entering and exiting restaurant property without the help of a left-turn lane. “We believe the business makes a drastic change to the neighborhood and the business is drastically different than the Cork ‘N Hearth,” he said. The Zoom meeting also featured comments and dozens of letters from Lee residents, along with several Berkshire businesspeople, saying the company should have a chance to succeed.īut, Lakehouse Inn owner Cody Gavin felt that the marijuana store didn’t belong next door to his establishment.
