Grand Rapids City Council shifts to lease option for municipal dispensary plans

The Grand Rapids City Council made a site visit to what could be the city’s future municipal cannabis dispensary during its Monday, Oct. 26, work session. The city’s initial plan was to build the dispensary from the ground up, but that plan became less feasible after city officials took a closer look at the finances of Anoka’s municipal dispensary. The Anoka dispensary opened in February and has served as both a partner and model for Grand Rapids’ development plans. Because the dispensary is city-owned, Grand Rapids was able to review its financial data from February through July. According to city administrator Tom Pagel, Anoka’s business plan did not account for the city and state sales taxes calculated into its revenue. An average customer at Anoka’s dispensary was projected to spend close to $200 per visit, but building the tax into sales trimmed that number to less than $100 per visit. The Grand Rapids City Council reassessed the true cost of building and operating a municipal dispensary with the sales tax included, and determined leasing an existing site would be the safer financial decision. Pagel said the updated projections lowered Grand Rapids’ projected average transaction from $98 per visit to $88.

Deb Haaland and Peggy Flanagan Mark Their Historic Wins in Intentional Earrings

(And there could even be a third victory for the Indigenous community today: at the time of publishing this story, Alaska’s Mary Peltola is currently leading the race for a Senate seat, too.)
