Ember Gardens, a southeastern Massachusetts-based company, made the announcement Thursday in a statement to the Select Board and residents.
“At Ember Gardens, one of our core missions is our community values. As such, we have heard the community and will not be moving forward with our proposed cultivation site in Chesterfield on Willcutt Road. The quality of life will be more affected by this proposal than we expected and that was never our goal or intention,” the statement reads.
