Himalayan High Continues to Support Becket with Community Impact Fees
In the evolving landscape of the cannabis industry, it’s essential to recognize the businesses that remain committed to their communities. At Himalayan High, located at 2727 Jacobs Ladder Rd., Becket, MA 01123, we pride ourselves on not just being a premier adult-use dispensary but also a dedicated partner to our town. Unlike some operators in other towns who are withdrawing from their commitments, we continue to pay our community impact fees, ensuring that Becket benefits from our presence.
Commitment to Community
The community impact fee is a crucial element of the Host Community Agreement between cannabis dispensaries and their host communities. These fees are intended to offset the costs associated with the presence of dispensaries, such as increased demand for public services and infrastructure improvements. While some cannabis companies in other towns are challenging these fees or withdrawing their payments, Himalayan High remains steadfast in our commitment to Becket.
The Importance of the Community Impact Fee
The community impact fee we pay supports a variety of essential services and projects within Becket. This includes funding for public safety, road maintenance, and community programs. By fulfilling our obligations, we contribute to the town’s overall well-being and help ensure that Becket remains a vibrant and thriving community.
A Responsible Business Partner
Our decision to continue paying the community impact fee is rooted in our belief in responsible business practices. We understand that our success is intertwined with the prosperity of Becket. By maintaining our financial commitments, we not only support local initiatives but also build trust with our customers and neighbors.
Comparing Himalayan High with Other Operators
In recent times, several cannabis operators in nearby towns have taken legal action to challenge their community impact fees. For instance, in Great Barrington, multiple cannabis companies are suing the town, seeking to recover millions of dollars in impact fees they claim were improperly collected. These actions have sparked controversy and debate about the fairness and legality of such fees.
At Himalayan High, we take a different approach. We believe that paying the community impact fee is part of our duty as a responsible corporate citizen. Our commitment to transparency and community support sets us apart from those operators who are choosing to withdraw or litigate their obligations.
The Future of Becket and Himalayan High
Looking ahead, we are excited about the future of Becket and our role in its continued development. Our community impact fee payments will continue to support essential services and community projects, making Becket an even better place to live and work. We also plan to expand our community engagement efforts, hosting more events and initiatives that bring residents together and foster a sense of unity.
