Board approves Canagrow conditional-use permit for medical cannabis site along Highway 713
Summary
Tunica County supervisors approved a conditional-use permit for Canagrow to operate a medical cannabis facility on 5 acres of an ~83.3-acre parcel along Highway 713; the permit passed with one recorded opposition by Marshall Kelly.
Tunica County supervisors on June 1 approved a conditional-use permit allowing Canagrow, operated by William Swindle, to establish a medical cannabis facility on 5 acres of an approximately 83.3-acre parcel along Highway 713.
Miss Draper, a county staff member who presented the planning item, said the application requests operation of the medical cannabis establishment on the parcel and that required public notices were sent to nearby property owners. “The company name is Canagrow, operated by William Swindle,” she said during the presentation.
Chair (S1) called for a motion; the board moved and seconded the item and voted to approve it. When asked for opposition, Marshall Kelly was recorded as opposed. The board did not state a roll-call tally in the transcript beyond that recorded opposition.
Why it matters: the approval clears a local land-use hurdle for Canagrow to pursue county-level permits for a production facility; county staff noted standard public-notice procedures and encouraged property-owner participation in planning hearings. The transcript shows supervisors discussing notification language and encouraging homeowner participation in future hearings.
What’s next: the conditional-use approval authorizes the use under county rules; further permits, inspections and any state licensing or approvals required for medical cannabis remain to be pursued by the operator.
