AMENIA — To measure residents’ opinions on whether to reverse the 2022 decision to opt out of the state regulations that would allow for the distribution of cannabis locally, the Amenia Town Board voted to hold a public hearing at its next meeting Thursday, March 7.
The hearing at the Town Hall will begin at 7 p.m. The hearing is in response to residents who have asked that the town opt in to be guided by state regulations governing the establishing of a local dispensary. The hearing will help to determine the extent of public interest in engaging in the process that would allow retail distribution.
Coyote hunt
Several residents spoke during public comment in strong opposition to plans for a local coyote hunting contest. The event has since been canceled.
