Grow Ohio pitches marijuana dispensary for Buckeye Lake
Summary
Justin Hunt of Grow Ohio told council the company wants to open a retail marijuana dispensary in Buckeye Lake modeled after its Zanesville site, highlighting local tax figures and community revenue shares; the presentation drew informational discussion but no council action.
Justin Hunt, executive vice president of Grow Ohio, presented to the Buckeye Lake Village Council on June 22 about the company's interest in opening a retail marijuana dispensary in the village.
Hunt said Grow Ohio has been in business since 2017, distributed literature describing its mission and brands, and said the company would like to replicate its Zanesville retail site, The Vault, as a second location in Buckeye Lake. He told council members that recreational sales typically carry a 10% tax and that, in his presentation materials, "35-36% goes to local communities." The presentation was informational; council took no formal action or vote on the proposal at the meeting.
Council members thanked the presenter and noted the information will be useful as the village considers potential retail and tax impacts. Any future application, zoning review or license required for such a business would follow the village's established permitting and regulatory processes.
