Greenpoint Savings Bank 100424 Lc

A notice warning neighbors that the 420-friendly business might be moving in was seen Friday plastered on the giant, granite edifice of the Greenpoint Savings Bank, which has sat empty for four years.“I’m not against the pot one way or the other, it just seems like we’re getting a lot of dispensaries in the neighborhood,” local resident Carl Gunhouse told The Post.

According to the notice, Altitude Cannabis Club “plans to open a cannabis storefront,” a proposal that will be reviewed at an upcoming Community Board meeting. just as quickly so it’s a bit surprising to hear that such a large building would be, popping up as the new, dispensary when all the other smaller ones seem to be struggling already,” Ian Gutbertson, 33, said.

Greg Mitnick, a father of two, said a weed shop is “not the greatest use of space,” but doesn’t mind another dispensary in the neighborhood: “To each their own.” The building was also faced with threats of foreclosure last year when the owner was accused of failing to make payments on his loan.
