The company will now have a dispensary at 1333 E. Main St. in Riverhead, about two miles east of Peconic Bay Medical Center, CEO Nicholas Vita said Friday.
The company had originally proposed a dispensary a couple miles down the road, also in Riverhead.
But that site, an old Blockbuster video store, sparked local concern because of its proximity to the high school, and the town board considered a moratorium on medical marijuana dispensaries.
That is now off the table, Vita said, thanks to the new location, a medical office owned by a local oncologist, who also specializes in palliative care.
Vita said he expects to have his program up and running by January, in line with state expectations.
