NY: OCM Publish Proximity Protected Location Map (PPLM)

The New York State Office of Cannabis Management (Office) is excited to share the Proximity Protected Locations Map (PPLM), which can be accessed on the State of New York Open Data website linked below:

Proximity Protected Locations Map (PPLM)

The PPLM displays the locations of licensed cannabis dispensaries, and the proposed cannabis dispensary locations on applications that are still under review. The proposed locations have been afforded proximity protection because the locations have been reviewed by the Office and have been found compliant with all distancing and proximity requirements until a final determination is made on the corresponding application.

The PPLM is intended to help prospective or provisionally licensed conditional adult-use retail dispensaries (CAURD), adult-use retail dispensaries, microbusinesses with retail and registered organizations with dispensing (ROD), identify potential locations for a cannabis dispensary in accordance with the distance and proximity requirements set forth in the Cannabis Law and its associated regulations.
