The Harrietstown Town Council is considering allowing retail cannabis businesses within its boundaries to get a slice of the tax revenue the businesses would generate. According to the Adirondack Daily Enterprise, when cannabis sale was legalized in New York in 2021, local governments had a one-time option to opt out of allowing dispensaries and consumption lounges within their borders, with the option to reverse this decision at a later date. Otherwise, ;ocal governments were automatically opted in.
