The Mattapoisett Planning Board is holding a public hearing on April 2 at 7 p.m. to discuss banning recreational marijuana retailers in town.

The hearing will be at Old Hammondtown School.

At a special Town Meeting on Feb. 12, voters approved a temporary moratorium on the issuance of licenses for both recreational and medical marijuana establishments. Now, the board will see if voters would be open to amending the bylaws to ban recreational establishments all together.

The new bylaw would prohibit marijuana cultivators, independent testing laboratories, marijuana product manufacturers, marijuana retailers, or any other types of licensed marijuana-related businesses.

If the Planning Board decides to go forward with the bylaw, it would be on the spring Town Meeting agenda in May. Because Mattapoisett voted “no” on Question 4, which legalized recreational marijuana in the 2016 state election, banning marijuana establishments would be a one-step process. Had the community voted “yes,” there would also be a ballot question.
