Amend cannabis cultivation law to encourage Richmond resident ownership
In Plain English
The city's current cannabis cultivation rules don't require or encourage local resident involvement in ownership. This change would add language promoting Richmond residents as owners or partners in cannabis growing businesses. If approved, future cannabis cultivation permits would favor applicants who include local residents in their ownership structure.
