WORCESTER - The former owner of Classic Envelope, a manufacturer in Douglas, has proposed opening a medical marijuana dispensary on Millbury Street.

Michael DeCaro, of Millbury, has proposed opening a dispensary under the name Medicinal Alternatives Inc., in an industrial building.

Medicinal Alternatives will host a public meeting to discuss the proposal at 5 p.m. Wednesday, March 16, at the proposed site, 1191 Millbury St.

According to a news release on the dispensary, Michael DeCaro will be Medicinal Alternative's chief executive officer; and Christopher Sands will be the chief operating officer. Peter DeCaro, the general manager at Classic Envelope, does not have any role in Medicinal Alternatives. Peter DeCaro had been included as part of the leadership team in original news release from Medicinal Alternatives.

Mr. Sands has been a managing partner of Medical Cannabis Consultants in Rhode Island, and had previously been director of operations for Summit Medical Compassion Center, another Rhode Island dispensary, according to the company's application with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.

In the application for the dispensary, Michael DeCaro said that he founded Classic Envelope in 1988, and grew it to a business with $14 million a year in revenue.

The company, which was founded in Worcester, was moved to Douglas in 2012. Michael DeCaro sold Classic Envelope to Supremex, a Canadian envelope manufacturer, in October 2015.

City officials said in 2015 that they had been contacted by seven separate companies interested in opening medical marijuana dispensaries in Worcester. One of those seven companies was Medicinal Alternatives.

Good Chemistry of Massachusetts Inc., a company that runs two dispensaries in Colorado, has proposed 9 Harrison St. as its dispensary location. Good Chemistry held a public meeting at 9 Harrison St. in June 2015.

In a 2016 letter, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health asked Good Chemistry to submit a siting proposal for one of three dispensaries that it has applied for. That application is pending before the state. Good Chemistry had its first medical marijuana dispensary applications turned down by the state.

The other proposed marijuana dispensaries that have contacted the city are Garden Remedies Inc., which did not have a proposed site in 2015; Manna Wellness Inc., which would have its dispensary and cultivation facility at 141 Southwest Cutoff; Mayflower Medicinals, which proposed a dispensary at 129 Water St.; Mission Massachusetts Inc., which would have its dispensary and cultivation facility at 640 Lincoln St.; and Prime Wellness Centers Inc., whose dispensary is proposed for 0 Pullman St.
