US (ME): New retail shop headed to Presque Isle

The Presque Isle City Council approved the city's eighth retail marijuana shop and heard a plea for help from a local daycare owner during its Wednesday meeting.

Chad Junkins owns Here We Grow, a hydroponic greenhouse and organic gardening store, and Northern Euphoria, a medical marijuana cultivation center. He applied for license renewal for the grow facility and requested approval to open a cannabis retail shop at his 11 Davis St. location. The council convened a public hearing on his and other licenses.

"We're going to close down Here We Grow and then we're going to put a medical dispensary there in [its] place," Junkins said.

No one spoke during the hearing. Councilors unanimously approved Junkins' plan. Expenses are threatening the closure of another local childcare facility, said Shyla Pinette, who owns Kelly's Place Learning Center. Pinette requested financial help with a Community Development Block Grant to keep her business open but did not specify a dollar amount.
