WORCESTER – The city is giving the green light to its first marijuana dispensary in what is believed to be the largest signed agreement by a municipality with a registered marijuana dispensary thus far in the state.
City Manager Edward M. Augustus Jr. announced Wednesday he will provide a letter of non-opposition to Good Chemistry of Massachusetts Inc. to locate a registered marijuana dispensary at 9 Harrison St., near Kelley Square.
As a condition of receiving the letter, Good Chemistry has signed a community host agreement, agreeing to pay the city $450,000 over three years, plus an escalating percentage of gross sales, according to a news release from the city manager’s office.
Good Chemistry will also contribute $10,000 annually to public charities or causes of its choosing benefiting the neighborhood, the release said.
The agreement contains a provision that the city will not approve more than four marijuana dispensaries that will be spread out across the city so no neighborhood has more than one.
