Ocoee commission meeting set for Oct. 17

First reading: Prohibiting Medical Marijuana Treatment Center Dispensaries

Tonight, commissioners will see an ordinance that proposes to ban permitting for Medical Marijuana Treatment Center Dispensaries from the city's limits. According to city documents, the ordinance was drafted in response to a Senate Bill the state Legislature adopted in June which establishes two options for local governments when it comes to banning or permitting Medical Marijuana Treatment Center Dispensaries. The two options are to either ban the facilities outright or give up the chance to regulate the number of facilities that may be permitted and their location. 

Any residents with questions or concerns may contact Ocoee City Hall at (407) 905-3100.
