City manager reports meeting with governor about Fort and inclusive park; dispensary licensing remains frozen
Summary
City Manager Jim Mavromatis told council he and the mayor met with the governor to discuss funding for Fort restrooms and an inclusive park; he also reported the state has about 147 dispensaries and is not issuing new licenses at this time.
City Manager Jim Mavromatis told council on March 17 that he and Mayor Petrella traveled to Columbus to meet with the governor and present two funding requests: restroom and meeting-room improvements at the Fort, and an inclusive playground at Jim Woods Park. Mavromatis said the governor said he would "take a look" at potential funding streams and that the delegation left copies of the proposals.
Mavromatis also updated council on marijuana-dispensary licensing, saying there are "approximately 147 dispensaries" in the state and that licensing was on hold at present. He described the licensing process as lengthy and expensive and suggested the city monitor opportunities should licensing resume.
