NORWAY The Norway City Council on Monday had a second reading of an ordinance to opt into the Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marijuana Act.
While the state in 2018 approved allowing recreational marijuana sales, Norway citizens voted against the move, 641 no to 541 yes. The council cited that opposition in passing an ordinance in December 2018 to forbid marijuana businesses in Norway.
But the council revisited its decision Dec. 7, with Mayor Candy Brew, council members Jeff Muraro, Scott Popp and then-Council Member Jeremy Oja voting to amend.
The council on Monday set a workshop meeting for today to discuss details of the ordinance before a public hearing March 15.
