A public forum is scheduled for 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 17, on the question of permitting the buying and selling of recreational marijuana.
The city has not yet made a decision about allowing marijuana sales locally, more than a year after voters statewide approved a ballot proposal legalizing the substance. Each municipality can make a decision about whether to allow marijuana to be bought and sold within its boundaries. Thus far, no city or township in northeast Allegan County has voted to allow it, but Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo are welcoming businesses and transactions in other parts of the state have gotten under way.
City Manager Josh Eggleston earlier this year said there is no need to conduct a survey of local voters because 58 percent of them approved the ballot proposal in the November 2018 general election, 2% better than the tally statewide.
The meeting will be held in council chambers in the back of City Hall.
