It was standing room only at a meeting on Tuesday in New Buffalo Township as residents voiced their concerns and asked questions about all of the new marijuana businesses that have opened in town in recent years. The township organized the meeting because trustees hear a lot of questions during their regular township board meetings that can’t be answered at that time. New Buffalo Township Police Department Lieutenant Thad Chartrand led the session and tells us many of the concerns are around crime created by the dispensaries, but he’s been following the statistics. Some also have concerns about how the marijuana businesses could be affecting younger generations. All in all, Chartrand describes Tuesday’s meeting as worth holding, with more than 110 people in attendance.
