Dillon officials discussed the possibility of allowing walk-up and drive-thru marijuana sales in town during a regular council work session Tuesday night, Jan. 5, but community groups are already urging the council not to entertain the idea any further.
New rules from the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division will allow dispensaries to offer walk-up and drive-thru marijuana sales this year, but local governments will have a say in whether they want to allow the sales in their towns or implement more stringent regulations on the practice than outlined by the division.
Dillon Town Council opened discussions on the topic this week, and while officials haven’t made any decisions, council members agreed to pursue more in-depth conversations on the issue in the future.

As other counties across the state struggle to roll out vaccination programs, Summit County is receiving praise for its approach to distribution.
At a Summit County Board of Health meeting Tuesday, Jan. 5, officials shared how the county’s drive-thru method for distributing the vaccine has received attention across the state and nationally.
Nicole Valentine, the county’s public health spokesperson, said a video about the drive-thru was picked up by 9News in Denver and shared nationally across NBC networks.
Aside from media coverage, officials are also hearing from neighboring counties looking to Summit for advice on vaccine distribution. The reason Summit County’s distribution has gone so well is because of the close partnership between the county’s public health and emergency management offices, officials said.
The new year means fewer restrictions as Summit County moves to level orange on the state’s COVID-19 dial on Monday, Jan. 4. Since Nov. 22, the county has been in level red on the state’s.
