Clean Air Teaneck

 

Purpose

We are a citizen group dedicated to keeping retail cannabis dispensaries only in the Alfred Avenue district of  Teaneck, NJ 

The next town council meeting will April 4 with Good and Welfare starting at 8:00 pm. Please come and show your support. 

 

How did we get here?

In 2021, individual towns had to make a decision whether to "opt-in", and allow such businesses in their town, or "opt-out".  Teaneck was one of the many towns that fully opt-ed in. This was done by a vote of the town council.
