Narducci Opposes Proposed Marijuana Dispensary in Providence Neighborhood

Nicholas Narducci Jr.
Councilman Nicholas Narducci Jr. is urging the Providence Zoning Board of Review to reject a special use permit requested for a proposed compassion center/marijuana dispensary at 67 Batcheller Avenue. 

“I want to be very clear, I’m not opposed to compassion centers. I’m only opposed to this specific site because its location is almost completely surrounded by family homes. I realize that this area is zoned for commercial enterprise, but this is not the right place for a compassion center. I hope the zoning review board will consider my concerns when they meet next week,” said Narducci.

The application for a Special Use Permit for the operation of a Compassion Center/Cultivation Center for Medical Cannabis was submitted by Donovan Obair LLC and SEACAP Holdings RI I, LLC.
