Maryland Governor Wes Moore announced Wednesday that the state will explore new options for a Cannabis Incubator site.
His team had previously selected a former National Guard Armory in Catonsville as the site, but on Wednesday instructed several agencies to identify other locations for the project.
A cannabis incubator is a program aimed at supporting the growth of small early-stage cannabis businesses. Maryland’s program would be the first of its kind in the country, according to Moore’s press release.
Just one week after the Baltimore Banner reported community complaints regarding the selection of a cannabis incubator site in Catonsville, Governor Moore and his team are pivoting to other options. Some residents were frustrated that the venue had been chosen without community consultation, according to the Banner. The old armory is located close to a local elementary school and a local day-care.
