Pittsfield Township is imposing a moratorium on new medical marijuana dispensaries, provision centers or other businesses that distribute the drug while it determines where and if those operations fit into its zoning ordinance.
At its Wednesday meeting, the Pittsfield Township Board of Trustees unanimously approved the 180-day moratorium.
The move came after the Bulldog Provisioning Center, a medical marijuana dispensary at 625 State Circle, opened without a certificate of zoning compliance or other authorization, according to township officials.
