The Moultrie County Board Legislative Committee met Friday, September 3, and voted to recommend changes to the cannabis business establishments ordinance to the board. According to county board chairman Dave McCabe, they were required by state ordinance to pass an ordinance relative to allowing or prohibiting cannabis businesses by December 2019.
Will Bates, who owns Central Roofing and Central Storage Solutions in Sullivan, began pursuing craft grower and dispensary licenses about seven months ago. He said their main goal is to do the craft grow only in Moultrie County and not the dispensary. According to Bates, “The state requires us to set up programs where we donate up to a certain percentage to substance abuse centers, veterans support and schools. A well-run facility can generate a lot of money for the community.”     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
