The Inverness City Council is set to vote on a ban on medical marijuana dispensaries within the city limits on Monday, April 15, at 6:00 PM, at the Inverness City Hall, 301 E. Main St., Inverness, Florida. The vote comes after State Attorney Will Niblett declined to press charges against Councilor Jim Wooten, who was accused of violating the state’s Sunshine Law.
Wooten was cleared of any wrongdoing by Niblett, who stated that there was no evidence to support the claim that Wooten had improperly discussed the dispensary ban with city officials. The council has been debating the ban for several months, with some residents expressing concerns about the potential impact on the city’s quality of life.
The proposed ban would prohibit the sale of medical marijuana within the city limits, which could affect several businesses that have expressed interest in opening dispensaries in Inverness. The city council’s decision will have significant implications for the community, and residents are encouraged to attend the meeting to voice their opinions.
Citrus County has seen a growing number of medical marijuana dispensaries opening in recent years, with several locations in and around Inverness. The city’s decision on the ban will likely have a ripple effect on the industry in the region.
