Jersey City sued for allegedly steering cannabis license to Jim McGreevey-tied firm
|
 [NYPOST] A licensed cannabis operator has sued Jersey City, claiming officials there illegally awarded a license to a rival weed store with business ties to ex-New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey, who recently announced a comeback bid to become Jersey City mayor.
The Cannabis Place, which also runs a Queens-based licensed marijuana delivery service in New York, was awarded a license to operate at 1544 Kennedy Boulevard in Jersey City in September 2022.
Then last month, the Jersey City Council approved a license for Kushmart to operate across the street at 1521 Kennedy Boulevard, violating a prohibition against pot stores being located within 600 feet of each other, the suit says.
Under state law, applicants must have a "community partner" in order to obtain a cannabis license.
Kushmart’s community partner on the project is NJ Reentry Corporation, whose executive director and chairman is Jim McGreevey.
His group helps train and find jobs for ex-convicts — including at budding cannabis shops after New Jersey legalized the sale of recreational weed in April 2022.
