MEREDA’s Morning Menu Breakfast – On Fertile Ground: The Maine Marijuana Industry
The marijuana industry offers enormous opportunities for real estate owners and professionals, but poses unique risks and challenges. MEREDA is pleased to welcome attorneys Ted Kelleher and Hannah King from the law offices of Drummond Woodsum as they provide an overview of how the Maine medical and recreational marketplaces will function going forward, what kinds of licenses will be available, what the timeline will be for the creation of the new recreational market and what these businesses look like operationally. They will discuss legal issues and concerns for landlords and property owners, including issues specific to the issues around title insurance, property insurance, as well as provide information on how landlords can best protect themselves.
