A marijuana dispensary soon will open in Galena, potentially as early as next month. PharmaCann, which operates dispensaries under the brand name Verilife, will open a dispensary selling both medical and recreational marijuana in a former bank building on Perry Street. The Galena dispensary will be Verilife’s fifth Illinois location. The company sells a wide variety of both recreational and medical cannabis products. Galena City Council members approved a city ordinance allowing for a dispensary after Illinois legalized adult-use recreational marijuana on January 1, 2020. Anyone at least 21 years old can buy and possess up to 30 grams of cannabis.
The Galena City Council voted in favor of allowing outdoor dining on a portion of Main Street from May to October next year. The vote was 4-1 with Mayor Terry Renner casting the lone dissenting vote. Council members had discussed such an extension, and some expressed concerns over how certain aspects would be handled, such as garbage collection. In response, city staff compiled a report detailing how the program could be implemented. The city originally established the policy this spring and summer in order to assist downtown restaurants when indoor dining was not allowed as part of state efforts to curb the spread of COVID-19. Under the newly adopted policy, outdoor dining will run from May 1st to October 24th.
