Chelsea Record: Potential Increase in Marijuana Licenses Following Ordinance Change

The city of Chelsea, Massachusetts is making a major change to its marijuana ordinance that could potentially lead to an increase in the number of marijuana licenses issued. This change comes as part of the city’s effort to create a more equitable and inclusive cannabis industry. The new ordinance, which was passed by the Chelsea City Council in early 2021, eliminates the requirement that applicants for marijuana licenses must have lived in Chelsea for at least five years prior to applying. This change is intended to make it easier for
