Backgrounded by the Alpena County Courthouse, a “For Sale” sign stands in the lot where one of two medical marijuana shops is scheduled to be built. Progress on the shops may be halted by a motion filed by a lawsuit filed against the City of Alpena.
ALPENA At least another week is needed before Alpena city officials will know if they can proceed with their plan to establish two medical marijuana provisioning centers in Alpena.
In court on Wednesday, 26th Circuit Court Judge Ed Black heard arguments from Sean Gallagher, attorney for Alpena businessman Bob Currier, who asked Black to prevent the city from moving forward with the development of the two businesses while the court addresses a lawsuit filed by Currier.
