PEORIA, Ill. The Peoria City Council Tuesday night approved the special-use of an adult-use cannabis dispensary at 5001 N. University St.
According to building plans, the dispensary will be located in the University Square Shopping Center, next to Familia Dental.
Council Member Elizabeth Jensen voiced concerns about too many dispensaries popping up in a concentrated area of Peoria.
“I do have concerns about having too many of these facilities and having too many in one area of our city,” said Jensen.
She said she wants the council in the future to discuss having distance limitations on how close two dispensaries can be to each other.
