NIAGARA COUNTY, NY (WKBW) — As New York State moves closer to the legalization of recreational marijuana, officials in Niagara County say they need to take a closer look at what pros and cons cannabis would have in their community.

Niagara County Legislator Jesse Gooch is putting together a panel to examine the local impact recreational marijuana would have on Niagara, though he doesn't have an opinion one way or another.

"I would like to set up a couple of open forums where we invite the public residents to come in and really just talk it out," Gooch said.
