Michigan’s Cannabis Regulatory Agency Announces Next Statewide Municipal Summit

Posted on January 16, 2024 by Jennifer Rigterink
In response to the positive feedback from the statewide municipal summits held in 2023, and in keeping with its commitment to engage in transparent communication with stakeholders, the Cannabis Regulatory Agency (CRA) has announced the date and time for its next statewide municipal summit.

Staff from the CRA’s legal, licensing, and enforcement divisions will host a 90-minute Zoom call. In addition, there will be time set aside for the CRA to answer questions from local municipal officials.

The summit will be held via Zoom on February 6, 2024, from 10:00 am to 11:30 am.

Local municipal officials who RSVP’d for a previous municipal summit do not need to RSVP for this one; an email link will be sent to all those who already RSVP’d to a previous municipal summit. New attendees who have not previously RSVP’d may do so by sending an email to [email protected] by 5:00 pm on January 29, 2024. Officials who RSVP should include the name of their municipality as well as the name, email address, title, and phone number of all those planning to attend.

Any questions for the CRA that may be addressed during the municipal summit should be sent to [email protected]. The CRA will confirm attendance via email with the Zoom link before the date of the summit.

In addition to the municipality summit, the CRA continues to keep its municipality resources updated and available on the CRA website:

  • A two-hour video in which the CRA compiled information from industry stakeholders, lawyers, and municipal officials, answering many of the questions that the CRA receives from local government officials – the video is available in the CRA’s video library, which can be found by clicking on the Resources tab.
  • A Municipal Guide in which the CRA answers many of the most commonly asked questions from municipal officials, including adult-use and medical facility licensing questions, as well as enforcement questions – the municipal guide is available in the Other Resources section of the CRA’s Laws, Rules, & Other Resources page.
