WILKES-BARRE — The city’s Zoning Hearing Board gave the go-ahead Wednesday for a medical marijuana dispensary to open up in a Kidder Street shopping plaza.
But it’s unclear when the place will begin operation. It depends on how long it takes marijuana growers and processors to get up and running.

In a 4-0 vote, the zoning board granted Columbia Care Pennsylvania LLC a special exception on the basis that the service the company provides is new to the state and not yet addressed in the city’s zoning ordinance.
“We’re the largest medical marijuana company in the country,” said Corey Fitze, Columbia Care’s director of government affairs. “We do not have any interest in and we do not participate in any recreational market.”
