Although the council originally passed its cannabis regulations in 2021, it has been fine-tuning them ever since. The latest modification came after the city discovered that by restricting cannabis sales to H-C Highway Commercial and Selected Light Industrial District a small section along Avenue A was also included.
The latest change removes that area from consideration for those seeking to participate in the growing industry.
More than one resident raised concerns about restricting the sales to the increasingly limited area, noting that some people – especially those who may need it for medical purposes – would have a hard time reaching the location, adding the cost of a cab to reach the stores.
