The town of Bourne is maintaining its ban on recreational marijuana stores.
The vote was the slimmest of margins at a special town meeting on Monday, the tally 249-to-248 on the article that proposed lifting the ban.
The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court upheld Bourne's pot shop prohibition last summer after it was challenged by the Haven Center, a prospective business.
