A
C
Good
afternoon,
everyone
I
was
able
to
certify
the
cannabis
station
with
the
documentation
sent
to
me
by
mr
carlos
castillo,
who
is
the
100
beneficial
interest
holder
of
the
cannabis
state.
The
cannabis
station,
which
exceeds
the
51
percent
ownership
threshold
set
forth
in
the
ordinance
to
establish
an
equitable
rate
to
establish
the
equitable
regulation
of
the
cannabis
industry
in
the
city
of
boston.
C
Mr
castillo
met
the
following
criteria:
a
person
who
has
resided
in
an
area
of
disproportionate
impact,
as
defined
by
the
ccc
for
at
least
five
of
the
past
ten
years.
Mr
castillo
submitted
sufficient
evidence
that
he
has
resided
in
two
boston
neighborhoods
that
meet
the
criteria
for
areas
of
disproportionate
impact
since
at
least
2014..
C
Additionally,
mr
castillo
met
the
criteria
of
a
person
who
has
resided
in
the
city
of
boston
for
at
least
the
past.
Seven
years
again,
he
submitted
sufficient
documentation,
proving
that
he's
been
a
resident
of
boston
since
at
least
2014,
and
the
final
criteria
that
mr
castillo
met
was
that
he
is
a
person
of
black
african
american
hispanic,
latino
or
asian
descent.
Mr
castillo
has
self-identified
as
latino
and
is
a
dominican
descent.
A
E
E
Why
are
we
here?
We
are
offering
roxbury
a
cannabis
dispensary
directly
in
front
of
nubian
station,
the
heart
of
newton
square's,
commercial
district.
Our
location
is
on
a
non-residential
strip,
three
stores
down
from
silva
slipper
directly
across
from
arizona
pizza
and
bank
of
america.
In
addition
to
being
in
front
of
the
station,
we
have
secured
an
exclusive
agreement
with
mr
bailey's
parking
lot
and
are
the
only
cannabis
dispensary
that
has
dedicated
parking
in
roxbury.
Customers
can
park
in
bailey's
lot
and
walk
over
to
our
dispensary
for
free
next
slide.
E
Please,
our
mission
is
to
revitalize
and
restore
newbie
square
into
a
destination
district.
Accomplishing
this
mission
requires
building
diverse
businesses
that
attract
customers
from
all
walks
of
life.
Our
business
will
play
a
significant
role
in
supporting
people
and
community
benefits
that
will
improve
the
quality
of
life
in
the
square
through
our
relationships
with
community
partners.
Next
slide,
please,
who
we
are,
I
was
born
in
roxbury
and
raised
in
dorchester.
E
I
spent
the
bulk
of
my
career
in
real
estate
in
affordable
housing,
I'm
an
entrepreneur
and
I'm
the
owner
of
the
property,
where
the
dispensary
will
be
located

slide.
Please
ownership
structure,
our
dispensary
will
be
the
first
that
is
100
owned
by
someone
born
in
roxbury.
It
is
the
most
reflected
of
the
demographics
impacted
by
the
war
on
drugs.
E
We
are
a
boston,
equity
applicant.
We
have
no
investors,
no
partners.
We
are
accountable
to
our
community
and
not
to
shareholders.
We
own
the
property
and
our
location
will
not
displace
or
reduce
the
current
space
of
a
small
business
in
our
district.

building
was
vacant
from
a
previous
fire

E
B
B
I
want
to
get
a
little
more
information
from
you
because
of
buffer
zone
conflict.
How
is
this
proposal
or
what
your
business
plan
is?
How
is
this
different
than
the
other
ones
in
the
area?
What
distinct
distinguishes
yours?
We
don't
take
into
com
into
consideration
things
like
competition,
but
public
need
for
yet
another
type
of
license
like
this
in
this
neighborhood.
E
So
I
think
we
have
a
lot
of
community
support,
we're
in
a
location,
that's
non-residential.
We
have
parking,
we
will
be
the
least
disruptive
in
the
neighborhood
and
I
think
people
coming
on
coming
on
and
off
the
bus.
Can
we
go
directly
to
the
station
and
not
have
to
walk
through
a
neighborhood
to
get
to
a
dispensary,
so
would.
J
K
K

K
K

D
M
E
M
So
I
know
you're
saying
you're
not
near
the
school
zones
but
you're
directly
in
front
of
the
station,
which
sort
of
exposes
you
to
sort
of
transient
population
and
there's
a
lot
of
young
people
there.
So
how
are
you
thinking
about?
Are
you
going
to
monitor?
I
mean
the
bus
station,
the
nubian
square
station,
which
has
a
lot
of
traffic
for
traffic,
a
lot
of
young
people
and
a
lot
of
transient
population.
M
E
Are
you
monitoring,
interestingly
enough,
you
know,
we've
been
there
about
eight
years
or
more,
and
we
do
not
have
an
issue
currently
on
that
block
with
young
people
or
kids
in
middle
school,
or
anything
like
that.
It's
strange
enough
that
they
don't
tend
to
walk
past
the
liquor
store
or
even
silver
slipper
as
much.
We
don't
get
a
lot
of
that
traffic
coming
through.
E
They
do
they
do,
but
there
are
different,
definitely
different
routes.
We
just
thinking
about
it.
You
know
even
more,
so
we
don't
have
folks
walking
past
our
store
to
get
to
the
station
that
much
young
kids
at
least
it's
mostly
adults.
We've
never
had
a
problem,
even
when
schools
in
the
area,
let
out
we
don't
have
any
kids
that
are
trying
to
go
into
the
store
or
we're
turning
them
away.
We've
never
had
that
issue.
E
No,
I
think
probably
the
the
biggest
benefit
is
we're.
Gonna
have
security,
that's
not
just
inside
this,
the
the
dispensary
but
one
outside
of
the
block,
and
we
think
that
that's
gonna
be
probably
one
of
the
biggest
impacts
on
that
entire
block.
So
if
they're,
if
we
have
one
or
when
those
guys
out
there
walking
the
block
across
the
street
bank
of
america,
security
is
walking.
The
block
mbta's
transit
police
is
on
is
at
the
station
walking
that
block,
and
then
we
also
have
a
security
guard
at
citizen
bank.
E
If
somebody
decides
to
wait
too
long
outside
I
mean
it's
a
benefit
even
for
our
current
staff,
at
our
store
and
even
for
summer,
silver
slippers
and
mr
lee's
convenience
store,
because
sometimes
our
challenge
is
nobody
wants
to
tell
the
person
who's
an
impo
who's,
a
staff
member
wants
to
go
outside
and
say:
hey.
You
got
to
move
across
the
street.
So
now,
if
we
do
get
approved
and
we
have
security
there,
we
think
it
will
be
a
big
big
benefit.
E
So
we're
looking
to
do
pre-orders
so
that
it
makes
it
more
convenient
for
people
to
order
ahead
of
time
and
we're
trying
to
have
a
station
designated
just
for
that,
but
really
we're
we're
we're.
Our
plan
is
to
be
more
of
a
neighborhood
store
where
it's
convenient
for
you
on
your
way
home
or
wherever
you're
going
on
and
off
the
bus
to
be
able
to
stop
by
and
come
there.
So
we
will
have
online
presence.
That's
the
way
the
world
is
going,
but
we're
more
community
oriented,
and
in
that
sense
we
don't.
E
So
you
know
we
we
worry
about
that
even
in
our
package
store-
and
I
think
the
way
we've
handled
it
in
the
past
is
that
our
customers
know
if
we
catch
them.
We
ban
them
and
I
think
we
have
enough
of
a
of
a
big
presence
now
in
nubian
square,
with
our
package
stores
that
if
they
get
banned
from
one
store
they
get
banned
from
all
the
stores.
So
I
think
that
becomes
also
something
where
we
would
have
to
build
relationships
with
other
stores
to
say:
hey
we
had
an.
E
E
And
staff
it
is
for
both
the
the
pr,
the
the
priority
is
obviously
staff,
and
this
really
you
know,
was
born
about
four
years
ago,
when
we,
when
we
were
looking
at
what
we
were
doing
for
our
current
staff
on
our
real
estate
side,
where
we
were
trying
to
make
sure
that
everybody
that
works
with
us
is
able
to
get
a
home.
And
basically,
if
I
stop
construction,
which
is
you
know,
the
way
we're
going
so
we
can
focus
on
cannabis
in
our
retail
business.
E
That
at
least
everybody
that
participated
or
worked
with
us
had
a
home
while
they
were
part
of
our
team,
and
so
we
basically
took
that
model
as
a
community
benefit
with
everything
going
on
in
roxbury
to
say,
this
is
really
the
way
that
business
should
go
and-
and
everybody
around
us
has
kind
of
adopted
a
similar
model
to
believe
that
homeownership
is
really
the
key
to
fighting
gentrification
to
keeping
people
in
neighborhoods.
So
it's
something
that
we
strongly
believe
in.
E
Nope
we're
not
helping
with
down
payment.
We
basically
are
we're
doing
three
first-time
homebuyer
classes
a
year,
we're
providing
them
with
a
broker,
we're
both
on
the
real
estate
side
and
on
the
mortgage
side
and
we're
providing
them
with
in-house
council.
Basically,
six
closing
a
year
is
what
we
committed
to
and-
and
you
know
we
don't
know
how
this
business
is
going
to
do.
If,
if
we
are
successful,
we
can
explore,
you
know
expanding
that,
but
we
don't
want
to
make
any
commitments
today
that
we
can't
keep
forever.
M
E
I
think
the
biggest
dif
there's
a
lot
of
differences.
You
know
to
be
frank,
but
the
biggest
difference
is
approach
and
our
location.
I
think
a
lot
of
the
controversy
is
that
a
recent
law
changed
on
how
you
measure
the
distance
from
a
school,
and
I
think
that,
that's
probably
you
know
the
one
of
the
biggest
concerns
for
the
community.
E
If
you're
familiar
with
the
area,
you
know
we
are
actually
in
the
square,
and
I
have
two
package
stores,
one
in
the
square
and
one
down
the
street
near
the
other
location
and
while
they
are
within
walking
distance,
it
is
night
and
day
our
customer
in
our
area.
Just
you
know
five
or
six
blocks
from
being
inside
nugent
square.
E
Further
down
dudley
street,
where
we
are
unique
in
our
in
our
transit
community
and
people
coming
off
the
bus
versus
down
the
street,
where
it's
a
big
residential
neighborhood
lots
of
schools,
lots
of
kids-
we
don't
have
that
situation
here
inside
the
station.
I
can
say
that,
being
here,
eight
years
and
having
two
stores
you
know
in
the
station
and
down
the
street
and.
N
I
do
thank
you
and
thank
you
so
much
for
the
application.
I
have
a
couple
questions.
One
centered
around
employment.
Can
you
say
a
little
bit
more
about
you.
Had
some
really
high
goals
around
boston
residents,
which
is
really
great
80,
it
looks
like.
Can
you
say
a
little
bit
more
about
goals
around
people
of
color
immigrants,
other
folks
that
you
have
in
mind
in
terms
of
targeted
outreach
and
recruitment.
E
E
E
E
So
the
the
beauty
of
it
is
that
I
see
everybody
personally
and
the
way
I
operate
the
stores,
even
though
there
are
different
managers
and
different
people.
You
know
everybody
at
the
end
of
the
day
is
working
directly
for
me,
so
I
always
have
the
the
approach
or
attitude
hey.
How
are
you
how's
it
going?
Do
you
have
enough
hours?
Are
things
going
well
you're
concerned
with
anything,
and
it
really
becomes
like
kind
of
like
a
family,
the
folks
that
you
work
with
you
spend
more
time
with.
E
N
Thanks
and
then
just
I
might
have
missed
this,
but
just
on
the
great
home
ownership
support
that
you're
trying
to
do,
which
is
great,
had
just
a
couple
questions
I
I
might
have
missed
this
on
the
the
first
time
home
buyers
attorney
closing
support.
What
is
the
the
typical
cost
on
that,
and
I
think
it
says
in
your
application.
Is
it
three
first-time
homebuyers
that
you're
trying
to
support
so.
E
So
we
think
between
him,
onyx
group
and
a
few
other
folks
that
we
already
currently
have
a
relationship
with
that
will
have
pretty
good
outreach,
but
also
all
of
our
community
partners,
our
neighborhood
organizations
they're
part
of
our
outreach,
so
everybody
can
attend
a
typical
closing
attorney.
Closing
could
range
anywhere
between
600
to
a
thousand
dollars
for
buyer's
representation.
E
A
O
O
O
Q
Yes,
thank
you
to
the
board
chair,
I'm
here
in
support
of
carlos
castillo
and
the
right
time,
roxbury
team
located
at
2353
washington
street,
and
I
am
confident
that
this
particular
establishment
will
be
able
to
address
the
issues
around
cannabis.
The
equity
here
in
the
city
of
boston,
and
if
we're
really
serious
about
supporting
equity,
then
we
will
appeal
to
my
appeals
in
support
of
carlos
castillo.
A
A
Right
we
will
turn
to
individuals
who
have
signed
up
again.
Please
limit
your
testimony
to
two
minutes.
When
I
call
your
name,
please
state
your.
If
you
have
not
stated
your
full
name,
please
state
your
full
name
and
your
address
and
affiliation
if
any
calling
robert

with
roxbury
main
streets.
R
Thank
you
very
much,
commissioner.
Robert

Our

bay

is
a
non-profit
commercial,
revitalization
working
with
business
residents,
property
owners,
employees
and
public
private
agencies
to
improve
the
mix
of
goods
and
services
in
nubian
square,
enigma
square
commercial
district.
R
To
that
event,
we
as
a
board
voted
to
endorse
the
cannabis
industry,
because
we
believe
from
the
research
we
have
done
and
the
information
available
that
this
will
increase
the
mix
of
business
in
european
square,
increase
the
foot
traffic
and
bring
a
new
life
and
vitality
to
a
district
that's
struggling
significantly,
especially
as
we
just
recovered
from
the
pandemic.
So
in
essence,
we
thank
the
board
for
this
opportunity
to
share
with
you
that
we
endorse
the
cannabis
industry
in
nubian
square.
Thank
you.
S
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
chairwoman
and
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
tomas
gonzalez,
I'm
a
resident
of
high
park,
I'm
one
of
the
owners
of
seed
in
jamaica
plain.
I
am
going
on
record
in
support
of
carlo
castillo
understanding
that
there
is
a
buffer
zone
conflict.
I
do
believe
that
he
could,
or
that
neighborhood
could
support
two
businesses
of
this
nature.
S
T
U
Hi
this
is
lorraine,
payne,
wheeler
and
I'm
here
today
on
behalf
of
roxbury
path
forward,
neighborhood
association.
Unlike
some
of
the
people
who
have
spoken
we're,
we
were
really
more
focused
on
the
business
itself.
We
really
like
the
fact
that
it
is
away
from
schools.
We
like
the
fact
that
it
is
in
the
station,
because
people
can
come
on
the
bus
and
cross
the
street
and
utilize
the
business.
U
We
really
like
the
fact
that
he
was
the
only
business
cannabis
business
to
be
able
to
secure
an
agreement
for
parking
and
in
addition
to
that,
he
has
sold
a
regulated
product
in
our
neighborhood
and,
if
anything,
he
improved
those
stores,
and
so
we
met
with
carlos
before
the
when
he
first
began
to
talk
about
opening
a
cannabis
business
and
the
neighbors
were
in
support
of
him
then,
and
we
continue
to
be
in
support
of
him.
So
thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you
very
much.

I
L
Hi
good
afternoon,
eric
lieberman
somerville
mass
in
support
of
carlos
just
so
everyone
knows
carlos-
does
operate
the
package
store
next
door.
He's
a
pillar
in
the
community
that
site
can
support
multiple
stores.
It's
got
great
accessibility
with
the
boss
and
parking
and
he'll
continue
to
do
an
outstanding
job
for
the
neighborhood.
Thank
you.
H
A
V
W
W
I
worked
for
carlos
for
many
years
and
just
wanted
to
express
my
full
support
and
also
highlight
the
importance
of
having
the
contract
for
parking,
which
is
one
of
the
biggest
concerns
in
the
area
having
not
just
the
foot
traffic,
the
car
traffic
for
people
coming
out
of
the
area,
and
I
believe
that
having
the
contract
with
the
with
the
lot
is
actually
something
that's
going
to
be
great
and
beneficial
for
the
business
and
for
the
community.
I
am
in
full
support
of
the
cannabis
station.
Thank
you.

Thank
you

and
a
lifelong
boston
resident
like
he
is
a
child
of
boston,
I've
known
him
his
entire
life
and
if
there's
any
one
person
that
has
the
ethics
that
has
the
know-how
of
building
business
and
also
doing
well
in
community,
it's
this
young
man.
X
He
is
an
example
in
our
community
and
I'm
so
proud
of
him
of
everything
that
he's
accomplished.
In
his
life
he
comes
from
a
very
strong
family.
His
parents
are
boston,
public
school
teachers
and
then
he
is
just
committed
to
this
community
in
a
very,
very
profound
way,
as
you
can
see
by
all
the
support
that
he
come
up
with
today,
but
also
in
this
plan
that
has
so
many
details,
and
so
many
so
many
things
that
are
that
are
investing
back
into
this
community,
in
which
he
loves
so
much.
So.
Y
Yeah,
that's
zach
breaker,
I
mean
watertown,
I've
known
carlos.
For
more
than
20
years
we
went
to
tufts
university
together
he
was
a
huge
mentor
and
leader
on
campus.
He
established
a
black
men's
group
on
campus
and
was
very
active
in
bringing
people
together
and
resolving
disputes
and
truly
treating
people
in
in
the
family-like
way
that
he
said
he
runs
a
business.
I
fully
support
him
and
know
him
very,
very
well,
and
I'm
glad
to
be
here.
Thank
you.

I
I've
known
carlos
for
a
while
now
and
not
just
a
business
owner,
not
just
a
community
member.
If
you
know
carlos,
you
know
that
he
truly
invests
in
his
community.
I've
seen
him
in
the
way
in
in
just
his
philanthropic
efforts
to
support
the
community
in
various
efforts,
but
also
just
giving
even
when
people
are
not
watching
and
just
completely
altruistic
and
about
helping
his
community.

you
