SOUTHWICK – The principals of Pioneer Valley Trading Co., the recreational cannabis store working through the permitting process to open in town, made their first appearance in front of the Planning Board and they were “excited to get it going.”
“There is a long road ahead,” said co-owner of the store Michael Albert, “but we’re very familiar with the process…we just did it in Westfield and it’s still fresh…and excited to get it going.”
Albert’s and co-owner Jason Fiore were at the board’s meeting to answer any questions about the special permit they have applied for to open in the former Southwick Episcopal Church at 660 College Hwy., which is required by the town to open a recreational cannabis store.
