EGR deadlocked on next step for pot sales rules

EAST GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — The East Grand Rapids City Commission did not reach a decision on what will happen with the ordinance banning marijuana businesses in the city that is set to expire in June.

The commission had a pair of tie votes at Monday evening’s meeting, though it was clear that the city won’t be allowing marijuana businesses to set up shop in East Grand Rapids anytime soon.

Commissioners took up discussion of the ordinance for the majority of its regularly scheduled meeting at city hall. City leaders narrowed what to do with ordinance down to two options — extend the ban on marijuana business indefinitely or continue the moratorium for another year, forcing the commission to revisit the topic before June of 2021. Each option garnered a tie vote, so both of the measures failed.
