Town Issues Online Survey for Input on Medical Marijuana Dispensaries in Walpole

The 2 question online survey will be used to give selectmen input on the issue.

At their meeting last week, the Board of Selectmen said they would be seeking input and feedback from Walpole residents on whether they should ban medical marijuana dispensaries from setting up shop in town.

The town website currently has a two question survey for residents asking if they are in favor of a dispensary in Walpole and if so, where in town should it be located?

The options for locations on the survey are an industrial area in Walpole, downtown Walpole, a retail/mall/plaza area, a residential area or not in town at all.
