The Rowley Board of Selectmen has granted approval for Nature’s Remedy to open a medical marijuana dispensary at 300 Newburyport Turnpike (Route 1 south) in the El Tapatio plaza. The company still needs to work through the permitting and security requirements with town departments and town police before its planned opening in September 2018. Nature’s Remedy already has received approval for cultivation facilities in Grafton and Millbury, and is in the building and site design stage for those locations.
