NORWAY The Norway City Council on Monday adopted an ordinance that will allow marijuana establishments to open within city limits.
While the state in 2018 approved allowing recreational marijuana sales, Norway citizens voted against the move, 641 no to 541 yes. The council cited that opposition in passing an ordinance in December 2018 to forbid marijuana businesses in Norway.
But the council revisited its decision Dec. 7, with Mayor Candy Brew, council members Jeff Muraro, Scott Popp and former member Jeremy Oja voting to amend.
The council had a first reading of the ordinance on Feb. 15 and second reading March 4.
Before a public hearing April 5, City Attorney Grant Carlson described drafting the ordinance as a three-step process involving zoning, enforcement and administration.
