First marijuana dispensary proposed for Sunset Park
Sunset Park is one step closer to having its first marijuana dispensary.
Napenthea LLC made a presentation at Community Board 7 on Monday, January 30 to discuss its proposal to bring a medical marijuana facility to 4614 Fifth Avenue, where it currently has a pending lease.
The company’s COO Christopher Etts, patient advocate Jennifer Live, and Paul Bigilin, head of security, discussed the proposal with the board’s Health Committee, which voted in favor of it and will recommend approval to the full board during its monthly board meeting on Wednesday, February 15. Napenthea hopes to snag one of five licenses to be issued by the New York State Department of Health (DOH).
