WORCESTER - A second medical marijuana dispensary is on track to open in the city early next month.

The Board of Health Monday night issued a medical marijuana dispensary license to Prime Wellness Centers Inc. for a facility at 65 Pullman St. It will be located in a newly constructed 4,500-square-foot building.

John P. Glowik, chief executive officer of Prime Wellness, said the company received a 60-day occupancy permit from the city and plans to open the dispensary the first week of December.

He said the building has been inspected by the city and the only thing outstanding is that fire officials want to have a transmitter installed so a signal can be sent directly from the building to the Fire Department. He said the transmitter has been ordered and should be installed before the temporary occupancy permit expires.

"The building is completed and ready to go," Mr. Glowik told the Board of Health. "We're at the last point of where we've got to be. We are planning to have product available for patients during the first week of December."

The company tentatively plans to operate the dispensary from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. six days a week and closed on Sundays.

Worcester is one of three locations in Central Massachusetts where Prime Wellness has been licensed by the state Department of Public Health to operate a medical marijuana dispensary. The other locations are in Shrewsbury and Leominster.

The company also operates a 37,000-square-foot growing facility in Sterling.

Mr. Glowik said all the products sold at the Pullman Street dispensary will be pre-packaged. He said no product processing will take place there.

He added that extensive security is planned for the building, including the use of internal and external cameras, to ensure patron and community safety, and to eliminate unauthorized access to the premises.

Prime Wellness, which has been in business for about 4½ years, is the largest medical marijuana provider in Connecticut and New Hampshire. Mr. Glowik predicted that it would be one of the three largest providers in Massachusetts within a year.

Since early August, Good Chemistry of Massachusetts Inc. has been operating the only medical marijuana dispensary in the city, at 9 Harrison St.

The city has negotiated four community host agreements with companies that will operate medical marijuana dispensaries, but so far only two have applied for and received licenses from the Board of Health, the last stop in the local chain of approval.

While the state licenses medical marijuana dispensaries, the city Board of Health has adopted regulations governing their operation here. The regulations enable the board to evaluate the operations and intervene if issues arise.

Mr. Glowik said Prime Wellness plans to "co-locate" at its building, meaning it will sell both medical and adult-use or recreational marijuana at the same location. He said the company has submitted an application to the Planning Board seeking a special permit for that purpose.
