Applicant proposes downtown cannabis micro-business; council refers matter to ordinance committee
Summary
Nate Holmgard proposed a cannabis micro-business in an unused downtown building attached to Nate & Jake's Meadery; he said he holds prequalification under the Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act. The council referred the proposal to the Ordinance Committee for review and a November recommendation.
Nate Holmgard presented a proposal Oct. 13 to open a cannabis micro-business in an unused building he owns downtown, which he said is attached to Nate & Jake’s Meadery. Holmgard told the Edmore Village Council he holds prequalification status under the Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act and described plans to pursue local licensing.
The proposal matters because the village previously removed the micro-business license in 2021, meaning the council and its Ordinance Committee must determine whether local rules should be changed or an exception granted. Council members did not take a vote on the proposal at the meeting; instead, they referred the item to the Ordinance Committee for further review and a recommendation at the November council meeting.
Village officials did not provide licensing terms, projected revenues, or hours of operation during the presentation. The transcript records that the Ordinance Committee will meet on Oct. 15, 2025 to consider the matter; a final decision by the council will depend on the committee’s recommendation and any required changes to the village ordinance.
Next steps: the Ordinance Committee will review Holmgard’s proposal and report back at the council’s November meeting. The council offered no formal endorsement or vote at the Oct. 13 session.
