Cal Verde – Belmont

The public trail begins with a proposal, not a grand-opening claim. Patch reported in July 2020 that Calverde Naturals planned a recreational marijuana shop at 1010 Pleasant Street and scheduled a virtual community outreach meeting for July 23, 2020. The article establishes the meeting as planned; it does not confirm that it occurred. A CCC-hosted executive summary later recorded that the applicant and Belmont executed a Host Community Agreement on November 24, 2020. That document also identified Kelly Tomasello and Stephen Tomasello as owner-partners and categorized the applicant as a woman-owned business. The current Google listing marks the business operational, while the retailer describes it as woman-owned and operated.

Google currently lists wheelchair-accessible parking and a wheelchair-accessible entrance, along with both free and paid parking-lot options. It also lists payment as cash only. Parking-location details are not supplied, so check the listing or call (617) 993-3940 before visiting.
