NORTHAMPTON — The city could see 10 new recreational marijuana stores open if approved by the state Cannabis Control Commission, including one that has already leased the former Sam’s Pizzeria and Cafe space on Main Street.

The city has executed 11 host community agreements with marijuana companies, according to Annie Lesko, executive assistant to the mayor and License Commission. Currently, New England Treatment Access (NETA) is the only adult-use marijuana licensee operating in the city. NETA was one of the state’s first two recreational pot retailers to open Nov. 20, 2018.

“Since the licensing process is strictly a Cannabis Control Commission (CCC) function, the city does not grant or deny marijuana licenses,” Lesko said. “There is no status update on when/if the other ten applicants will receive their approval.”

Twelve marijuana retailers (including NETA) are listed as having submitted applications, but “The 12th submitted application ... is an anomaly in that this entity submitted an application to the CCC with a ‘pending’ placeholder as the Host Community Agreement,” Lesko said. Mayor David Narkewicz has been in communication with the commission about the application, she said.

From time to time, the commission will post status updates on its website, Lesko said. As of Monday, two Northampton applicants were listed as having provisional licenses: Green Biz LLC of Avon and Just Healthy LLC of Boston. Potential store locations aren’t specified.

A Goggins Real Estate sign in the former Sam’s window reads, “Coming Soon: Galil Greenery LLC.” Lesko said the company has leased the storefront and in hopes its application will be approved by the state.

Marijuana-related businesses other than retailers have also submitted applications for commission approval, like “marijuana micro-businesses” including Bodelles Edibles LLC, along with marijuana cultivators and product manufacturers.
