At the regular city council meeting, on November 13, 2018, council approved the cannabis retail store for 1919A 8th avenue in Humboldt.

During the council meeting, there was discussion surrounding the letters and emails that were submitted as written responses from citizens of Humboldt.
There were a total of six responses to the proposed location, two were opposed to the idea of a store anywhere within the city, three were opposed to the location suggested, and one was in support of the location.
Council discussed the location and talked about whether or not it was a suitable location. The proposed store fit all the criteria set out within the zoning bylaws and the company, Canopy Growth Corp., is licensed by the SLGA.
There was a vote held between councilors and it was passed with two votes against.

Canopy Growth Corp. expects if all goes well to open at the end of January at the Humboldt Commons.

We will have more on this story tomorrow.
