BOSTON (AP) — Four companies will have another shot to operate one of Massachusetts’ first medical marijuana dispensaries, the state announced on Wednesday.

The Department of Public Health outlined its plan for accepting proposals for medical marijuana dispensaries in seven counties that currently do not have a project in the pipeline. The counties encompass some of Massachusetts’ largest urban centers and tourist destinations, from Boston, the Fall River/New Bedford region and Springfield to the Berkshires, Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard.
