Voters will be asked to vote yes or no for the adoption of a bylaw that prohibits all or certain types of adult (recreational) use marijuana establishments from operating in town.

A “YES” vote on this Ballot Question would be in favor of adopting the Zoning Bylaw to PROHIBIT all types of adult-use marijuana establishments in the Town. 

A “NO” vote would be OPPOSED to adopting the prohibitory Zoning Bylaw.
