Former NJ Mayor and Assemblyman Opens Dispensary in Riverside
Riverside: A Prime Location for Cannabis Growth
Former Medford, New Jersey mayor and former New Jersey General Assemblyman Scott Rudder is making waves in the cannabis industry with the opening of his new dispensary in Riverside, his home state. As a Republican, Rudder is breaking barriers and leading the way for the cannabis trade industry in New Jersey. With the grand opening of Township Green today, Rudder is bringing commerce and community to the downtown area of Riverside, a suburb in the greater Philadelphia-Camden region.
Leading the Way in Cannabis Reform
Rudder, a veteran and top consultant for statewide campaigns to legalize adult-use cannabis in New Jersey, has been a driving force in expanding the state’s cannabis sector. In fact, he was named the “Mayor of Cannabis” by NJ.com in 2020. With the opening of Township Green, Rudder hopes to continue his involvement in the growth of the industry and provide job opportunities for local residents.
Revitalizing Downtown Riverside
The opening of Township Green is not just about selling cannabis, it’s about revitalizing the downtown business district of Riverside. With the creation of about 20 jobs, the majority of which will be given to local residents, Rudder is bringing foot traffic and economic growth to the area. He understands the concerns of the community and hopes to address them by providing a sense of community and job opportunities.
Join the Grand Opening Today
The grand opening of Township Green will take place today, March 25 at 10:30 a.m. at 15 Scott Street, Riverside, New Jersey. Local officials and dignitaries, including State Senator Troy Singleton, will be in attendance for the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Rudder invites everyone to join in on this new and exciting chapter for the community.
Making Strides in Cannabis Reform
While Rudder is making strides in the cannabis industry, the state of New Jersey is also making progress in cannabis reform. The New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission (CRC) recently approved regulations for consumption lounges in the state, a step towards providing more options for cannabis consumption. The rules are currently being reviewed and will soon take effect.
