Zoning task with Municipal Resolution info added: https://dev.navigator.business.nj.gov/mgmt/cms#/collections/tasks/entries/zoning-cannabis

@Jesslax this is ready for review

@CeciliaRam 1) Evaluate Location task to something like "Identify a Community that Allows Cannabis Business" - I think that's the big takeaway for the task. And then maybe rename "General Site Considerations" to "Other Site Considerations"
2) Business bank account - wouldn't start a sentence with because. We should also update this section once we get the ability to create our own alert bars. Not sure how you'd like to track that, create a new tkt maybe?
3) Sign Your lease - would not start a sentence with because. Should it say "Other Contract Considerations" OR should we put some of the copy in the description section in the "Contract Considerations" seems like some of the cannabis things you note could go in that section.
4) We are discussing the zoning task on a separate thread.
5) Make sure the dependencies are all included in here, I only see them on one task, not sure where else you want them.

Otherwise, looks good!
