This document proposes siting a medical marijuana facility at 330 E Main St. in Westfield, MA. The 0.45 acre site has a 6,200 square foot building located in a business zone, allowing for a dispensary. It has adequate parking and is serviced by public transportation. While the small size limits growing, its location provides good access for consumers. It meets zoning bylaws but requires a special permit due to its business zone location.
