Glen Ellyn Plans Public Hearing To Talk Cannabis Sales

GLEN ELLYN, IL — Glen Ellyn residents will have a chance to sound off about recreational cannabis sales in the village at an upcoming public hearing. The hearing, set for Oct. 10 at 7 p.m., will also cover information village officials have gathered since the matter of recreational cannabis first came up for discussion in mid-August.

The hearing comes two days after neighboring Wheaton opted out of cannabis sales.

On Sept. 9, the village declared a resolution to further examine and research the issue of recreational cannabis businesses within village limits. As of Jan. 1, 2020, recreational cannabis will be legal for adults 21 and over to consume throughout Illinois.

The public hearing will cover a range of marijuana-related topics, from whether or not to permit sales, cultivation, transportation or other businesses, to how those businesses should be zoned if Glen Ellyn does decide to opt in.
