MLive.com, Wilcox said the purchase agreement has been finalized, but requires city council approval. “This is a fair and valid offer,” Wilcox said.

“It’s kind of ironic that the training facility for the police department, that used to go against marijuana, is going to possibly become a marijuana grow shop,” said Flint council member Santino Guerra.
