Medical marijuana dispensary application approved by Norwalk commission

Norwalk is one step closer to getting a medical marijuana dispensary, the Fairfield County Business Journal reported. The Norwalk zoning commission gave its stamp of approval to Healthport LLC’s application for a 3,000-square-foot dispensary on Connecticut Avenue. Now, the state’s department of consumer protection will have to approve the application. It’s expected to make its decision by the end of this year or at the beginning of 2019, according to the outlet. If it’s approved, the dispensary would be Fairfield County’s second state-approved dispensary. [FBJ]
