One of the more dramatic policy shifts in this year's Executive Budget is the proposed legalization of adult-use cannabis in New York. For local governments, this could have far-reaching impacts on land use, public safety, the local economy, and more. The timing of NYCOM's Cannabis Summit gives you an opportunity to understand and have an impact on what action the State Legislature takes in 2019 on this important proposal.
