Evanston Committee Approves Idea of Renting to Medical Marijuana Dispensary

Evanston’s Human Services Committee Monday unanimously approved the idea of becoming landlords to a medical marijuana dispensary in a vacant retail space in the Maple Avenue parking garage, according to an article in Evanston Now.

Ten would-be operators have approached the city about leasing that space for a dispensary, the article says. Under the new state law, only one dispensary can open within Evanston and Niles Township.
