LIVERMORE FALLS — Selectmen unanimously approved license renewals for four medical cannabis facilities during their meeting Jan. 7.

They are  BJ’s Cannabis, 75 Main St., owned by Robert Tarrant of Livermore; Fish Meadow Cannabis, 93 Main St., owned by Christopher Shea of Livermore Falls; The Local Joint, 7 Baldwin St., owned by Roger Moulton of Livermore Falls; and The Pharm, 72 Main St., owned by Mark Mancini of Jay.

BJ’s Cannabis application fee has been paid, there are no issues and town officials have signed off on the renewal, Town Manager Carrie Castonguay said. Asked if there had been any complaints or issues, she replied there were none.

“They are very low profile,” Selectman Bruce Peary said.

Castonguay said the fee has been paid for Fish Meadow Cannabis, with no complaints and officials had signed off on the renewal.

Selectman Jim Long said he has received some complaints about the smell near Fish Meadow. “I think that’s when they are going into Food City next door,” he said. He asked the town manager to ask the code enforcement officer, or perhaps the police department, to investigate the smell.

Chairperson William Kenniston said he had heard complaints last year about the strong smell out back, but nothing recently.

No questions were raised about The Local Joint or The Pharm.

“If I didn’t know better, I wouldn’t even know it was there,” Long said.

“It is pretty quiet,” Kenniston said.
