Menominee grants three conditional marijuana licenses

MENOMINEE — The City of Menominee has granted conditional marijuana retail licenses to three businesses that are built out and prepared to open. “We have started moving forward and have issued a retail license to the following: Highwire Wire Farms, Per I/Urb and Per II/Puff,” City Manager Brett Botbyl stated in an email. He said the licenses are contingent on the businesses passing all state and local inspections, codes, rules and full payment of application fees and/or past due/current taxes. This action comes as the result of a Nov. 3 ballot initiative that saw about 60% of voters approve increasing the number of marijuana licenses from nine to 13. There currently are eight licensed marijuana retailers in the city. All three of the businesses granted conditional licenses took different paths to get to this point. Highwire Farms, 1015 10th St. (corner of 10th Street and 10th Avenue), was part of a 2023 settlement agreement. Puff Cannabis, 2305 10th St. (the former Family Video location), was built out and ready to open last summer but could not get approval from the city. Urb, 1015 26th Ave. (the corner of 10th Street), has been ready to open for more than a year.

Document destruction company has new owners, new identity

DAGGETT — Country Mile Document Destruction began a new chapter with new ownership and a new name. The waste management business transitioned to second-generation owners Brad and Trina Younk and unveiled a new brand identity as Country Mile Environmental. The new name reflects the company’s broader range of services that go beyond document shredding. Country Mile Environmental securely handles regulated medical waste and provides on-site shredding and the secure destruction of confidential documents, hard drives, computer hardware and other materials. While the company trucks now sport a new logo and company name, Country Mile Environmental offers customers the same customer service they have had for 25 years. The waste management company, headquartered in Daggett, continues to be family-owned and operated by the Younk family. Roger Younk founded Country Mile Document Destruction in 2001 with a pickup truck, trailer and a mobile paper shredder. From this foundation, the company has grown into a comprehensive, certified waste management organization. Country Mile Environmental serves businesses, municipalities and individuals in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, northeast Wisconsin, and north central Wisconsin. “Our goal is to stay ahead of the curve in recycling and waste management while continuing to provide the same reliable service our customers know
