Voters in Niles Township are set to determine in November whether cannabis businesses will be permitted in their community.
The Niles Township Board of Trustees has decided to place the issue on the upcoming ballot. If voters approve the measure, the current ban on cannabis establishments in the township will be lifted, allowing for the establishment of four cannabis businesses along Eleventh Street, south of Fulkerson Road.
In 2019, the township board chose to opt out of the state law that permitted recreational cannabis businesses. However, the success of cannabis businesses in other Southwest Michigan communities has prompted the board to revisit the decision.
If Niles Township approves the presence of cannabis businesses, the community could receive approximately $59,000 annually for each licensed cannabis dispensary from the state's Marihuana Regulation Fund.
