Foothills Council boys lacrosse victory The proposed retail cannabis dispensary location at 643 Glen St. QUEENSBURY – The Queensbury Town Board has come out in opposition to Central Apothecary from receiving a New York State license that would place it in close proximity to areas frequented by children the same building as bike and outdoor shop Queensbury’s town code states that “an on-site consumption cannabis business or retail cannabis business shall not be located within 1,000 feet from” sites like amusement centers If the Central Apothecary retail store were to be located at 643 Glen St it would place the property within 270 feet from the Glens Falls Family YMCA The dispensary would also be located near Cole’s Woods and Crandall Park as well as two City of Glens Falls public recreation facilities frequently used by area youth while within 620 feet from Hovey Pond Park in Queensbury “This Town Board feels that that’s too close to where kids are,” Queensbury Town Supervisor John Strough explained “It’s just not a location we want to encourage for it to be located.” The board unanimously passed the resolution opposing the cannabis dispensary at their meeting last week Strough will also send a letter to the New York State Office of Cannabis Management specifying the town’s concerns and reasons for opposition During the approval process for a retail license the NYS Office of Cannabis Management and Cannabis Control Board “may consider the town’s opposition in any decision they make on granting a license for a dispensary at that location,” wrote Stu Baker “The town board’s opposition to the dispensary does not affect the business’ right to apply for local planning and zoning approvals for a dispensary at that location,” Baker wrote the town’s planning department has not yet received any applications for the proposed dispensary at the location on 643 Glen St. wrote that there are currently ongoing negotiations for a lease at the 643 Glen St There may be hurdles with the issuance of NYS cannabis retail license given the location’s proximity to the aforementioned facilities “Our local zoning for cannabis dispensaries does require that any cannabis dispensary have a valid NYS license,” Baker wrote the Queensbury Town Board has exercised caution when dealing with the ever-growing cannabis dispensary marketplace Approvals are already in place for retail cannabis locations in downtown Glens Falls and the Lake George Outlets in Queensbury The NYS OCM recently released a market report to the public that showed $869 million in cannabis retail sales generated in 2024 The report also showed how retail dispensaries nearly tripled in 2024 reaching 260 locations operational by year’s end Conditional adult use retail dispensary licensees accounted for 70% of open retailers at the end of 2024 The Post-Star will follow the progress of this story and update as needed Luke Mosseau is a staff writer.

Parents have reported that a lack of speech pathologists is hindering their children's progress contrary to what is outlined in their Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) a parent of a second-grader with Down syndrome expressed frustration over the departure of his daughter's speech pathologist in November "We did not get a formal letter stating that she was leaving or that they haven't found anybody," Gallucci said "We finally got one when we started inquiring about one in January They kept all the parents in the dark about this.. They need to change how they look at things and how they look at our special needs children It's an act of discrimination in my opinion." Education attorney Sivan Zak of Tully Rinckey PLLC who frequently handles cases involving schools not fulfilling IEPs outlined the steps parents can take through due process "The staffing issues and the staffing shortages is really not an excuse for school districts to not provide services under an IEP," Zak said "I think due process is the exact way that all of these parents should be going - you can cite to all the IEP violations in front of a hearing officer - I would presume that the state would look at the school district and say 'fix this problem'." Zak emphasized that the law requires districts to seek alternative solutions such as contracting with outside providers to meet IEP obligations despite staffing challenges NEWS10 ABC QUEENSBURY, N.Y.
