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.

Norway City Hall will be open 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. from after Memorial Day until the Fourth of July. The current office hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Requests to change office hours have been brought before past city councils, though each had been denied as members wanted to maintain a 5 p.m. closing time, City Manager Ray Anderson said. But with the ability to pay bills online or by drop box, traffic between 4 and 5 p.m. has been minimal.
The council Monday approved the change on a trial basis. If made permanent, it would bring Norway in line with other local municipalities and townships.
