Contractors who built Shinnecock cannabis dispensary complain of delayed payments

Months after a high-profile opening, Little Beach Harvest, the cannabis dispensary owned by the Shinnecock Indian Nation, is facing mounting calls from contractors who built the facility on Montauk Highway to pay past-due construction bills.

Payment letters and interviews with contractors indicate local electricians, builders and other construction trades may be owed more than $1 million, and attempts to recoup it thus far have been fruitless.

Officials of Little Beach Harvest, a tribally owned entity, declined to comment. Brian Polite, the outgoing chairman of the tribe’s council of trustees, described the situation as a business contract dispute similar to those experienced by other companies. He declined to elaborate.
