From: Neil Ruditskv <br />To: GRP -City Clerk <br />Subject: Retail Cannabis in Redwood City <br />Date: Monday, August 24, 2020 12:19:12 PM <br />Attachments: imaae001.ona <br />Good Afternoon, <br />My name is Neil Ruditsky and I am one of the principal members of Juva, Redwood City's first <br />licensed cannabis delivery service. Along with the residents of Redwood City, and those that <br />attended the multiple public outreach sessions in Redwood City, the residents are in favor of retail <br />cannabis stores as the next step in Redwood City's cannabis progression. I personally attended the <br />public outreach public comment sessions and no opposition to retail stores was displayed. <br />Furthermore, the residents of RWC believe they should be located where traditional retail is located. <br />It is important to allow brick and mortar cannabis stores to be permitted wherever retail stores are <br />allowed in the city limits. Retail cannabis stores have often been pushed to industrial zones where <br />city sidewalks, limited parking, poor lighting and access to public transportation are not available. <br />The cannabis industry retailers invest tremendous capital into their retail stores to make them warm, <br />inviting, safe and controlled to ensure the client base feels invited and safe. <br />Juva, has been a member of the Downtown association in RWC, and members of the Chamber of <br />Commerce and has been adding value to the local community. We would like to continue our <br />growth in Redwood City and hope you will support retail stores in retail locations. <br />Regards, <br />Neil Ruditsky <br />Chief Operating Officer <br />831.521.1323 <br />neil(@iuvalife.com <br />www.iuvaIife.com <br />J UVA <br />This message may contain information which is confidential and privileged.
