Dear Ms. Bonsiewich (Municipal Clerk),
Thank you for the data. By the way, do you have annual data on application/registration fee?
Thank you once again.

Yours sincerely,

We may not understand your request. But if it is registration/application fees for cannabis related facilities, we only have the one existing location in town which would not be applying/registering at this point.

So in that regard, we have collected 0 fees.

Please let me know that you've received this e-mail and if we, in fact, have answered your question.

Thank you.
