Fredonia Trustee Jon Espersen wants to get rolling on a community cannabis committee, putting out a call this week for members.

In a press release, he noted the Board of Trustees formed the panel Feb. 22

The committee, which includes Espersen, is looking for Fredonians willing to join it. No special qualifications or training are required, but joiners must be a resident of the village. If interested, please contact Village Clerk Annemarie Johnston at 716-679-2302.

As Espersen noted in his release, each municipality in the state had to decide by Dec. 31 to either opt in or opt out of allowing sale of cannabis and associated products.
