SUMMIT TOWNSHIP EXTENDS BAN ON NEW MEDICAL MARIJUANA DISPENSARIES FOR
ANOTHER FOUR MONTHS

The Summit Township Board on Tuesday extended the township's
moratorium on new medical marijuana dispensaries for four months as it
awaits recommendations on where dispensaries can be built.

Supervisor Jim Dunn said a subcommittee recommendation for a zoning
ordinance for marijuana dispensaries in Spring Arbor, Napoleon and
Summit townships is expected by the end of August.

Dunn previously said the zoning ordinance could serve as a model for
other municipalities.

Dunn said adding four months to the moratorium would give the board
time to finalize the new zoning rules.

The board passed the four-month extension by a 6-0 vote.
