The workshop will highlight how social equity considerations have been incorporated within the cities’ recreational marijuana ordinances. Adult-Use license applicants interested in operating in Grand Rapids or Ypsilanti will get direct information on municipal requirements. Municipalities opting-in to Adult-Use and considering a social equity component will have an opportunity to see what other communities have in place.

The presentations will be followed by a question and answer session, which allows the attendees to ask questions of all the presenters and the social equity team.
