The Menominee City Council has made new changes to its zoning ordinance, allowing marijuana businesses to open their doors within the city limits but within a specific guideline proposed by council person Joe Dulak. He states, “we don’t have this buffer district, with the zoning that we have. These entities could just stack right upon each other. Doing this is still allowing some flexibility to come in. We just don’t want them all over the place.”

Dulak says, “originally our ordinance was predicated upon the fact that there would be two stores. Now that’s unlimited, listening to the constituents and the people and some businesses I met with the gentleman from the DDA and they said they don’t want pot downtown.”

They voted the proposed ordinance by Joe Dulak, and it was a unanimous yes. Earlier in the meeting, the council also passed the Marijuana Repeal and Replace Ordinance. Where they’d be replacing the two recreation and two medicinal licenses. Upon a roll call vote, it passed 6 to 3.
