Cannabis Dispensaries
What does this measure?
This table shows the number of operational cannabis dispensaries in each Mid-Hudson county, the percentage of cities, towns, and villages in the region that opted out of allowing one or more types of cannabis business, and the total dispensary revenue reported for the Mid-Hudson. Data reflects Orange, Dutchess, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster, and Westchester counties, with additional context on opt-out rates across municipalities.
Summary Statement
As of the latest data, the Mid-Hudson region reported a total of 66 operational dispensaries, with the highest concentrations in Westchester (20), Dutchess (12), and Ulster (12). Rockland County had the fewest dispensaries, with 5 reported. Despite the Mid-Hudson region having 66 dispensaries, a significant share of municipalities have opted out of cannabis businesses—74% of towns and 73% of villages, compared to 24% of cities. In total, dispensaries generated $8.80 million in revenue across the Mid-Hudson region, reflecting both the growing market presence and the uneven participation among local governments.
