Inver Grove Heights Planning Commission Reviews Cannabis Dispensary Proposal at Arbor Point

The Inver Grove Heights Planning Commission convened on September 3, 2025, to discuss several key agenda items, including the approval of previous meeting minutes and a significant public hearing regarding a proposed cannabis dispensary.

The meeting began with the approval of the minutes from the August 6 session, which passed unanimously with a 9-0 vote. Following this, the commission moved to approve the agenda for the evening, which also received unanimous support.

The commission confirmed that notices regarding the public hearing were sent to 48 property owners in the vicinity on August 21, 2025.

During the discussion, the commission reviewed the details of the proposed dispensary, including its location and compliance with zoning regulations. The plans for the dispensary are available for public review at City Hall and on the city’s website.

The meeting concluded with an invitation for public input, emphasizing that both written and oral statements would be considered as part of the decision-making process. The commission aims to ensure community engagement and transparency as they evaluate the request for the cannabis dispensary.
