LANSING, Mich (WLNS) – Lansing City Clerk Chris Swope notified ten medical marijuana provisioning center applicants that their applications have been approved.

Applicants were judged on 25 different criteria using a 100 point system with factors such as those who “would provide the largest economic benefit in terms of jobs and investment to the City and minimize negative impacts like odor, safety and traffic.”

Chris Swope said they have “made a commitment to hire 1,444 workers and invest $51.1 million dollars in Lansing.”

Nothing is being shut down until this application process is completed.
