Dutchess Roots opened at 2615 South Road on 28 June 2025, but the Town of Poughkeepsie's first shop was not the county's first.
- City side
- 89 Main St for certain
- Town side
- South Road, Taft Ave and the town permit notices
- South Road
- Dutchess Roots at 2615 and Serenity Greens at 2245
- Pending
- The moratorium outcome is not confirmed
Which side of the line is the shop on?
The city and the town are separate governments. Black Market Canna at 89 Main St is the sure city address. Best Buds at 4-10 Taft Ave appears in a Town of Poughkeepsie special-use permit notice, and Dutchess Roots is town land, so the town's rules apply there. For Balli Cann on Smith St and the others, look up which government holds the parcel. The New York hub has the state side.
Cannabis in Poughkeepsie: questions
Was Dutchess Roots the first shop in Dutchess County?
No. Black Market Canna in the city opened first, in April 2024. Dutchess Roots was the Town of Poughkeepsie's first.
Did the town propose a moratorium?
A public hearing notice covered a proposed moratorium on cannabis special uses, and its planning board took a neutral position in June 2025; Verdex has not confirmed the result.
