There will be no new vape shops in Arlington until at least spring of 2027.
The town’s Board of Mayor and Aldermen on Tuesday, March 3, unanimously approved a 12-month moratorium on any new vape shops. Vices were the focal point of the night, as the board also passed second and final readings to amend ordinances related to the sale of beer and liquor.
