Worcester will negotiate community host agreements with four new marijuana dispensaries, bringing the total number of retail stores in the city to 13.

The city said in a statement Friday afternoon that the community host agreements include language that allows a community impact fee and other local regulatory oversight. By state law, Worcester must allow 15 retail marijuana establishments within the city.

The four new locations are: New Dia LLC at 118 Cambridge St.; Cultivate Holdings LLC at 1023 Southbridge St.; Munro Associates at 342 West Boylston St.; and Suns Mass II LLC at 56 Millbrook St.

The 13 proposed retail establishments are in addition to five approved manufacturing businesses, which are not open to the public and have limited signage.

At full operation, the city said the retail and manufacturing businesses are estimated to create 265 jobs.

Each potential new operator must still receive approval from the Cannabis Control Commission, as well as the city’s Planning Board and License Commission.

The city previously issued a Request for Interest as a process for reviewing adult-use dispensaries seeking community host agreements. Each potential business was required to submit an application to the city and host a community outreach meeting.

An interdepartmental team from the city reviewed the applications and interviewed all potential businesses, and recommendations were made to the City Manager.

To date, the city said it has received 46 applications for a variety of cannabis-related licenses.

Worcester must still issue two additional retail licenses. The city said existing applicants will be considered and no new retail applications are being accepted.

Applications for manufacturing businesses are being accepted on a rolling basis.
