An entity called The Other Side is looking to transform space along Congress Street into a dispensary and lounge spanning two floors.

The co-owners of the company share details about their approved 2,800-square foot dispensary that will revitalize a long-vacant building along Newark Avenue’s Pedestrian Plaza.

A condo association claims that a company co-owned by the wife of Jersey City’s mayor purchased their storefront to "facilitate the installation of a cannabis dispensary under the false pretense of relocating a physical therapy practice."

Haytham Elgawly, a Jersey City resident for 33 years, has won the first round of approvals to bring a cannabis dispensary and consumption lounge to a storefront in McGinley Square.

Jersey City has seen such an avalanche of cannabis businesses looking to open that a special meeting will be called to discuss the applications.

The cannabis business looks to hit several Jersey City neighborhoods in a big way and a Downtown restaurant could be the new home of a consumption lounge.

A former garage in The Heights could be home to a new dispensary as New Jersey prepares to enact licensing laws governing recreational marijuana sales.

Pending state approval, Terrapin has been cleared to open a medical cannabis dispensary in Hoboken.

A Breakwater Treatment & Wellness medical cannabis location is being proposed for Route 28 in Union County.
