Why This Vote Matters
In a divided vote, the council agreed to let Greenleaf Natural Wellness Collective restart the permit review process for their proposed medical marijuana dispensary. The decision allows William Harrison and Larry Flick to pay a $16,000 fee and continue pursuing approval for their business, which the city had previously stopped reviewing. This matters because it could lead to Richmond's first medical marijuana dispensary if the applicants ultimately receive approval through the full permitting process. Councilmembers Bates, Boozé, Ritterman, and Rogers voted in favor, while Mayor McLaughlin, Vice Mayor Butt, and Councilmember Beckles opposed the appeal.
