Harlem business leaders are booing Gov. Kathy Hochul and state officials off the stage — for proposing a cannabis store across the street from the famous Apollo Theater on 125th Street.
in a bid to stop the state-licensed marijuana dispensary from setting up in the commercial district, saying it will worsen the quality of life for merchants and residents in the area.
“We are urging the Governor to reconsider….. We do not have a problem with one coming to Harlem. 125th Street is not the right block. We want the Governor to understand the challenges we continue to face. Currently, 125th Street requires significant resources to keep it clean and safe.” The 125th Street BID petition says merchants are grappling with “extensive shoplifting” in the post-pandemic era, with one shop owner spending $1.2 million on private security and having a cannabis shop won’t help matters.It pointed to other violent crimes that have occurred on the famed block.
A shooting and murder happened near the Apollo when a group attacked a person carrying drugs, trying to take the drugs from him. He fought to keep his drugs and was shot and killed in broad daylight next to the Apollo, the petition said.
