Planning Commission Cresco to expand, add jobs
Local medical marijuana producer Cresco Labs is planning a $40 million expansion at its Yellow Springs facility over the next five years, with plans to add 140 jobs over that time.
On Tuesday May 11, the Village Planning Commission unanimously approved a site plan review for the multi-phase expansion at its location at the western edge of the village at 1130 Yellow Springs Way. The plan was submitted by architect Ted Donnell and Cresco’s vice president of government affairs, Christian Ficara.
Village Council
A Village map shows 43 active transient guest lodging locations across town, including five commercial hotels/B&Bs, with the remaining Airbnbs for short-term stays. Both Council and Planning Commission are considering restrictions to Airbnbs to limit their number in a single neighborhood and to deter non-owner occupied establishments.

Council closer to Airbnb rules
Those who run local Airbnbs or other businesses that offer short-term stays could soon be paying more to the Village some a lot more.
Village Council considered new legislation at its April 19 virtual meeting requiring new certificate fees for operators of transient guest lodging, or TGLs, with the most significant increases aimed at those who do not live at the property they rent out.
