Adult-use delivery restriction · North Andover, MA

North Andover
said no … for now.

Adult-use cannabis delivery is temporarily restricted in North Andover under CCC waiver DW-2026-014 through August 7, 2028. Approved June 1 Select Board minutes show the Town Manager explaining the new delivery law and two-year waiver process. Board members asked whether delivery could produce local tax revenue and how residents’ views should be measured; the administration pointed to the earlier Town Meeting vote not to authorize retail cannabis. The minutes do not record a separate waiver motion that night, so this page does not invent a vote breakdown. The later CCC record confirms that North Andover completed an authorized municipal request.
