Props to the good folks at the New York State Office of Cannabis Management for the materials they released last week for the opening of the standard cannabis licensing application in New York. This is a solid package of documents with answers to a number of the open questions around the licensing process. There is a clarification that I think needs to be made, as there are two documents that say something different about the municipal notice requirement: https://lnkd.in/eM_WzR3G "Notification must be made between thirty (30) and two hundred and seventy (270) days prior to filing an application for licensure." https://lnkd.in/e-KdTK9Y "Notification must be made between thirty (30) and two hundred and seventy (270) days prior to filing the final application for licensure by the Cannabis Control Board." The second one seems to be closer to what was done for CAURD, but it would be very helpful for the Office to clarify this.
