Orange held a cannabis community meeting day on Sunday ahead of a recreational marijuana vote for the township.
Orange is just two days away from voting on a proposed ordinance that'll either allow or ban the sale of recreational marijuana in the town.
On Saturday, community members gathered at the Hubb to show their support for marijuana businesses.
Marijuana business owners and elected officials were in attendance to answer residents' questions about what this could mean for Orange.
"The money could be spent for more programs for our youth, it could be spent for programs for our seniors, it could help out with the infrastructure, the sidewalks, our streets, we could restore our public library," said Orange Councilwoman Adrienne Wooten.
Just over 70% of Orange residents voted to legalize marijuana in the state back in November.
