SPRINGFIELD — Representatives of a family-owned Springfield business, proposing to open a marijuana store in The Republican building at 1860 Main St., said Wednesday the site offers safety and convenience with a mix of state-of-the-art and historic features.

The company, 6 Brick’s LLC, conducted a community outreach meeting via Zoom on Wednesday, as mandated by the state Cannabis Control Commission prior to city and state approvals. The meeting was held online due to the coronavirus pandemic.
