A Chelsea cannabis grower wants to bring pot, pizza and creamies to Sharon by taking over a once-popular roadside diner along Route 14 near recreational spots on the White River.
Sean Trombly, operator of Trombly House of Cannabis in Chelsea, has submitted a petition to the Sharon Selectboard for a ballot vote on whether the town should allow retail cannabis sales.
The town under state law has 60 days to get out the ballots for Australian voting.
Trombly said he has a signed purchase agreement to buy the property occupied by Sandy's, a long popular diner and ice cream destination on Route 14 between Sharon and South Royalton that never reopened after a fire in the summer of 2022.
The property has been listed for sale for $299,000.
