If a medical cannabis dispensary wishes to begin operation in Homewood, it will need to find a home in the M (industrial) zone.
By a 4 to 2 vote Tuesday, Aug. 12, the village board of trustees approved medical cannabis dispensaries as a permitted use in the M zone, which runs from Dixie Highway and Harwood Avenue, along Maple Road and 175th Street on the north side of the village.
Village Manager Jim Marino introduced the measure, MC-911, and noted its purpose would be to restrict where dispensaries can be located.
