| THIS WEEK’S SPOTLIGHT • AGENDA
City of Salem (Salem County) — May 11, 2026 Council Caucus Ordinance 26-10 introduced — deletes Chapter 90 of the City Code in its entirety and replaces it with a new Chapter 90 (“Cannabis”) creating a full local licensing framework for all six CREAMMA classes (Class I cultivator, II manufacturer, III wholesaler, IV distributor, V retailer, VI delivery) plus microbusiness. Public hearing scheduled June 8, 2026 at 5:30 PM. Fees: $2,500 application for the first license class plus $1,000 per additional class (resolution of local support); $5,000 annual local license fee per location (Classes I–VI); $2,500 annual per microbusiness location. Local licenses run on a calendar year (Jan 1 – Dec 31); resolutions of local support expire one year from issuance unless extended. Tax: 2% transfer tax on cultivators, 2% on manufacturers, 1% on wholesalers, plus user tax at equivalent rates on concurrent license holders. Unpaid transfer/user taxes become municipal liens with parity to property tax liens. Significance: Salem is moving from a previously restrictive posture to a comprehensive six-class licensing regime — the most ambitious municipal cannabis framework in this week’s NJ documents. |

Discussion of resident Ariel Mizrahi’s Bloom and Palm project (123 Ledgewood Ave., adjacent to her existing cannabis business).
