Charlotte and Potterville could be the first municipalities in the county to allow recreational stores. In Eaton County, Windsor Township, where cannabis company Skymint Brands is based, marijuana processing and growing facilities are allowed. If officials in Meridian Township move to allow recreational marijuana stores, they'd join Lansing and East Lansing as the only municipalities in Ingham County to allow them. For their combined 19 stores, Lansing and East Lansing received more than $1 million dollars, according to the state treasury department. Totals for 2022 will be released next month by the state treasury, but municipalities throughout the state earned $56,000 per licensed cannabis shop in 2021, up from $28,000 the previous year. The Michigan Regulation of Marijuana and Taxation Act creates a pool of money from recreational marijuana purchases and redistributes it to municipalities that allow cannabis shops. Though discussions among officials in the municipalities are at different stages, opting to allow recreational marijuana stores would bring in thousands of dollars for each.
More than three years after state-licensed sales of recreational cannabis began in Michigan, three Greater Lansing communities - Meridian Township, Charlotte and Potterville - are considering marijuana businesses within their borders.
