WILLIAMSBURG â Whitewater Township, population 2,799 according to the latest U.S. Census estimate, just passed ordinances allowing up to 300 medical and recreational cannabis growers that would have a combined capacity to grow hundreds of thousands of plants.
But commercial growing operations, and the 10 processors the ordinances also allow, wonât be sprouting up any time soon. First, the township needs to adopt zoning rules determining details like where the businesses can locate, what kind of setbacks they need and so forth, township Supervisor Ron Popp said.
That could take some months to complete, and in the meantime the township canât approve any permits for the businesses, Popp said.
