Bowdoinham Select Board to Hold March 10 Hearing on Cannabis License Renewal

The Town of Bowdoinham has scheduled a Select Board public hearing for Tuesday, March 10, 2026 at 6:30 p.m. in the Kendall Meeting Room to consider "a public hearing to consider a Renewal Cannabis Business License application from FH Fa," a phrase that appears truncated on the town's public notices page. The notice lists the agenda item exactly as shown on the town page; the applicant name as printed ends at "FH Fa" and the full applicant name is not visible in the captured notice.

A user-supplied story title identifies the applicant as FH Farms, LLC, but the town page text remains the primary record and shows the incomplete string "FH Fa." The town's public materials for prior Select Board hearings provide fuller location and access details, however the March 10 capture did not include an agenda packet or the full application text that would confirm the applicant's legal name and the specific class of license sought.

Bowdoinham's September 24, 2024 Select Board notice offers a template for meeting logistics the town uses: that notice listed a 6:30 p.m. meeting in the "Kendall Room of the John C. Coombs Municipal Building at 13 School Street in Bowdoinham" and included instructions to join via the town calendar page for Zoom access. The Sept. 24, 2024 agenda contained three items, including "A Renewal Marijuana License Application from Jandy Organics, LLC for Medical Marijuana Caregiver Business located on Map U06, Lot 017-C," the "General Assistance Ordinance and Appendices," and the "Closing of Curtis Farm Road for Winter Maintenance during the months of November, December, January, February, March and April or any part of these months."

Town contact and operational details printed with the Sept. 24 notice remain the authoritative contact points for follow-up: Town of Bowdoinham, 13 School Street, Bowdoinham, Maine 04008; Town Office phone 207-666-5531; fax 207-666-5532. The town's posted office hours in that notice are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 8:30 to 4:00 and Wednesday 11:00 to 6:00. The notice also carried recycling information for the town recycling facility at 121 Pond Road with hours listed as Thursday and Saturday 8:00 to 4:00 and Tuesday 12:00 to 6:00.

What is not shown in the March 10 posting is the full, uncut agenda text that would identify whether the renewal is for an adult-use retail, cultivation, manufacturing, testing, caregiver, or another license classification, and whether a parcel locator or staff report accompanies the application. The March 10 notice as captured also does not display a Zoom link or explicit meeting packet; the Sept. 24 notice directs readers to the town calendar for joining information.

The Select Board will hear public comment on the renewal at the March 10 meeting in the Kendall Meeting Room of the John C. Coombs Municipal Building at 13 School Street beginning at 6:30 p.m. Questions about the agenda item may be directed to the Town Office at 207-666-5531, where the town maintains meeting records and the Select Board agenda packet for public review.
