DILLON EXPLORES MEDICAL MARIJUANA OPTIONS AT TODAY'S WORK SESSION

Discussion To Take Place At Dillon Town Hall

DILLON - Town council and staff in Dillon will explore options to bar
medical marijuana dispensaries within town limits at a work session
today. The council tentatively said no to marijuana dispensaries
within the town at its last council meeting on Nov. 3, citing concerns
about abuse, need and lack of state regulations as reasons for not
moving forward on approving regulations. The work session starts today
at 4 p.m. in the Dillon Town Hall.

"We don't have any definitive direction to determine what they'd like
to do moving forward," said town manager Devin Granbery. "The
council's made it clear that a majority of them do not support the
idea of medical marijuana dispensaries in Dillon. Council will now
work with the town attorney on how they want to address that issue."

Granbery said council and staff will likely look at several options
today that could "result in some type of ordinance."

"They won't be taking any action on it (today)," he said.

The Town of Dillon currently has a moratorium on medical marijuana
dispensaries to expire on Feb. 13.

Any action taken to officially bar dispensaries, or to come up with a
new set of regulations, will take place before that date.
