IRON MOUNTAIN A second marijuana dispensary in Iron Mountain may open by June as Lume Cannabis wraps up the transformation of two dilapidated downtown buildings at a reported cost of $2.1 million.
The city council Monday heard updates from two businesses granted licenses to sell marijuana, giving each of them until Nov. 1 to meet commitments made during the application process in 2019.
In October, Rize Cannabis opened a curbside dispensary at 1580 N. Stephenson Ave. after promising a $5 million investment for its retail outlet and accompanying cultivation center. Lume promised a $2.18 million project that includes a retail shop at 117 and 119 S. Stephenson Ave., as well as a growing and processing component on the west side of Hydraulic Falls Road between Stephenson Avenue and Breitung Cutoff Road.

IRON MOUNTAIN Businesses holding licenses to grow or sell marijuana in Iron Mountain are expected to report by Friday on the progress they’ve made in meeting promises made during the city’s application process in 2019.
In seeking applications, the council capped the number of retailers at two and mainly scored the proposed projects on economic factors. A pair of retail shops and accompanying grow facilities were authorized in January 2020.
Because the pandemic has slowed construction, the deadline to begin full operations was extended from Oct. 1, 2020, to April 1, 2021. Now, at the direction of the city council, City Manager Jordan Stanchina is requesting information from the licensees on their progress.
