(The Center Square) – More than 100 New York pot shops may have to relocate or shut down because the state made an error calculating their allowable distance from local schools.
The state Office of Cannabis Management notified 152 dispensaries on Tuesday that they are in violation of a state law requiring at least 500 feet from the property lines of schools or houses of worship.
That, however, differs from the distance measurements regulators took when they were first approved their licenses to open for business, which was taken from the entrances of the buildings. The state now admits that was an error with major “repercussions” for their business operations.
