Boston City Councilors File Amendments to City’s Cannabis Equity Ordinance

BOSTON (28 July 2020) - Boston City Councilors Lydia Edwards and Kim Janey have filed amendments to Boston’s cannabis equity ordinance in an effort to bring transparency to the municipal approval process for marijuana businesses by changing the process for executing host community agreements. The Boston Cannabis Board adopted its final rules and regulations on July 22. Under those rules and regulations, the host community agreements are negotiated after approval by the BCB and there is no set timeline for their execution.
