A Linthicum medical marijuana dispensary has been approved by the county and the site has been granted a building permit for renovations.
In September, GPD LLC received approval of its special exception to run the dispensary, and it received the building permits in October for renovations at 823 Elkridge Landing Road in Linthicum. The dispensary is taking over a former convenience store. The business has preliminary approval from the state to run a dispensary but no official licenses have been granted in the county or state.
The decision came after an August hearing in which residents expressed concerns about the incoming medical marijuana dispensary. Resident Suzzie Schuyler testified that she was worried about her neighborhood and wanted to keep it "drug-free" and "safe," according to administrative hearing records.
County planners also recommended against approving the plan because the application didn't meet the county's requirement to be built near arterial roads. Elkridge Landing Road is classified as a collector road. The applicant applied for a variance which would allow them to bypass that rule.
