It is the policy and intent of the Village of Rockville Centre
("Village") to prohibit the licensing and establishment of retail
cannabis dispensaries and/or on-site cannabis consumption establishments
within the Village. By the enactment of this article, the Board of

the New York State Cannabis Control Board to prohibit the establishment
within the Village of such retail dispensary licenses and/or on-site
consumption licenses otherwise authorized pursuant to Article 4 of

dispensaries and/or on-site cannabis consumption establishments in
the Village. This article is intended to exercise the said authority
of the Village to the maximum permissible extent.
