Increase cannabis retail permits and add delivery-only licenses
In Plain English
Richmond currently limits the number of cannabis stores that can operate in the city. The proposed changes allow more storefront dispensaries and create new delivery-only cannabis businesses. Some of the new licenses are reserved for equity applicants who were negatively impacted by past cannabis criminalization.
