Benefits of Expanding the Zone!
If you need any talking points about why expanding the cannabis zone to the South side of Teaneck is a good idea, feel free to reference this list:
-
It generates tax revenue for the town. 2% of every sale goes towards Teaneck taxes.
-
It aligns with the town's goals for the updated Teaneck Master Plan. Specifically by supporting economic development and promoting a diversified economic base, while reinforcing our existing business districts.
-
It boosts the local economy and generates more traffic for neighboring businesses. Every $1 spent on cannabis is $3 in the local economy.
-
It creates local job opportunities. Cannabis jobs will be open to Teaneck residents.
-
It reduces crime. Regulated dispensaries decrease illegal drug sales in the area.
-
Cannabis is medicine for many people that need it. Making it more accessible for residents reduces their burden of traveling out of town to get their relief.
These are some high level talking points, but feel free to add anything else on your mind about cannabis and if you support its general expansion in Teaneck.
