Cannabis shop proposed for Route 9 Framingham by Greencare Collective

The owners of GreenCare Collective Inc. cannabis company want to open a new recreational dispensary on Route 9 Framingham, adding to a growing list of marijuana businesses in the city’s marijuana retail establishment overlay district

The Millbury-based company proposes a 3,500-square-foot facility at 1154 Worcester Road (Route 9). The site is currently the home of Phillip DePalma Salon and Day Spa; the building would be sold to a new owner, then leased to GreenCare and the salon would move elsewhere

GreenCare Collective recently opened a 100,000-square-foot cultivation facility in Millbury. The group has applied for a Community Host Agreement in Framingham, and is meeting with the city’s Marijuana Advisory Team to discuss a potential agreement.
