Sixteen applicants have submitted the 19 proposals for new medical marijuana dispensaries in Connecticut, as the state seeks to increase the number from six to as many as nine, according to a list released by the state.
Three applicants have submitted proposals for multiple locations, and one — Angelo DeFazio, who now operates one of the six existing dispensaries, in Hartford — is seeking to open a second location.
The state is compiling the applications, which needed to be submitted by Friday, and did not release the proposed locations of the dispensaries. The state is focusing on New Haven and Fairfield counties where there are the most registered patients and the fewest dispensary options.
Another applicant — Connecticut Pharmaceutical Research Center LLC — is listed at 47 Main St. in Portland, the same address as one of the state's four medical marijuana producers, Connecticut Pharmaceutical Solutions. It was unclear early Tuesday if the two are related or whether the producer was seeking to expand into the dispensary business.
Connecticut Pharmaceutical Research Center is proposing two dispensary locations. Connecticut Pharmaceutical Solutions could not immediately be reached for comment.
DeFazio, who operates a pharmacy and a dispensary, both in Hartford, could not immediately be reached for comment.
Sales of medical marijuana in Connecticut began a year ago and since then the number of registered patients has more than tripled. As of Aug. 27, there were 5,357 registered patients across the state's eight counties. Jonathan Harris, commissioner of the state Department of Consumer Protection, which oversees the medical marijuana program, estimates the number will climb to 6,000 by the end of the year.
Growing registration has increased the need for more dispensaries, Harris has said.
The state expects to make its selections from among the proposals received Friday by early next year.
The roster of applicants and their business addresses also include:
David Sullivan, 28 Blueberry Lane, Woodbury.
CT Wellness Group LLC, 75 Tupelo Lane, Guilford.
Releaf Recovery LLC, 379 Quarry Brook Dr., South Windsor. (2 applications)
PalliaTech CT LLC, 19 Morgan Lane, Monroe.
Coastal Care LLC, 582 Boston Post Road, Milford.
Hancock Wellness Center, LLC, 1295 East Main St., Meriden.
Steven Jay Rand, 39 Flag Swamp Road, Roxbury.
Southern CT Wellness & Healing LLC, 4 Maryanna Way, Rocky Hill.
C-3 Ventures, LLC, 318 New Haven Ave., Milford.
Releaf Wellness Center LLC, 41 Crossroads Plaza, West Hartford.
Better Healing, LLC, 3 Clover Court, Brookfield.
Organic Care LLC, 125 Greenwich Ave., Greenwich.
Legendary Wellness Connecticut LLC, 93B Deming Road, Berlin.
