Vogler J ust a month after the Annual Town Meeting overwhelmingly supported a measure to allow for marijuana establishments in town, a Lynn-based pot manufacturer wants to locate a marijuana retail store on Route 1 in Saugus. A company called Bostica, LLC, recently had a notice posted on the town website related to “a virtual Community Outreach Meeting for a proposed Marijuana Establishment” scheduled for next Thursday (June 30) at 6 p.m. “The proposed marijuana retailer is anticipated to be located at 44 Broadway, Unit A, Saugus, MA,” the notice said. That address is located near Oye’s Chinese Restaurant. “There will be an opportunity for the public to ask questions. Please feel free to submit your questions to jcapano@bostica. com in advance of this meeting,” it continued. The email address is for Jonathan Capano, an attorney and Saugus resident who has been working with the cannabis industry since 2017. He attended the May 23 Town Meeting session at the request of Board of Selectmen Chair Anthony Cogliano to address Town Meeting members about the lucrative benefi ts reaped by communities that have accepted the sale of recreational marijuana. In a telephone interview with The Saugus Advocate this week, Capano identifi ed himself as the chief compliance offi cer for Bostica, LLC “This is part of the license application process, as we are required to have a local meeting to answer questions and provide details about the operation, the security of the facility and what the license allows us to do,” he said.
