Upper Township officials are moving forward with steps that would allow a cannabis dispensary in Marmora, despite strong objections from Ocean City officials and local residents. The proposed location sits directly along 34th St. bridge entrance to Ocean City, NJ.
With approval, the former Sketties location on Roosevelt Blvd could become an approved marijuana dispensary. Residents have expressed concerns regarding impaired driving, quality-of-life, and overall safety with the close proximity.
Potential Site, Formerly “Sketties”
As of January 15, 2026, the proposed cannabis location would be subject to a multi-layered review process, requiring oversight and approval from the Planning Board, Zoning Board, and committee. If approved locally, state approval would also be necessary.
