Chairman of the Somerville Board of Alderman’s Committee on Public Health and Public Safety Alderman at Large Jack Connolly and Ward Six Alderman Lance Davis, will host a neighborhood meeting on Monday, November 28th, at 6:00 P.M. at the Community Baptist Church, 31 College Ave., Somerville, MA. The purpose of this meeting is to allow members of the public to hear a presentation from Garden Remedies Inc. dba Garden Remedies (www.gardenremedies.org) regarding a medical marijuana dispensary proposed by Garden Remedies inc. , to be located at 245 Elm St. (currently the site of Family Dollar). Representatives from Garden Remedies will take questions regarding the application and their intent to seek a Special Permit form the City of Somerville.

The City of Somerville recently issued a letter of non-opposition to the Garden Remedy application (among others). The applicant (a non-profit organization founded by a physician who survived cancer) recently opened a medical marijuana dispensary in Newton, MA.
