Brighton city officials, voters say no to allowing marijuana storesPosted by On


Brighton voters rejected a proposal on Tuesday's ballot to allow a minimum of two adult-use recreational marijuana stores in the city.

BRIGHTON — Brighton will continue to prohibit retail marijuana stores after city officials Thursday canceled a public hearing for a proposed ordinance that would have approved them.

Brighton officials Thursday night scrapped a hearing on a proposed ordinance to allow some marijuana business in the city, removing discussion from their agenda. The move followed Tuesday’s rejection by voters of a proposal that would have allowed a minimum of two adult-use recreational marijuana stores in the city.

The petition-led initiative failed Tuesday with 2,546 (57.76%) people voting no and 1,862 (42.24%) voting yes.

The Brighton City Council in October scheduled a hearing on a city-initiated ordinance that would allow marijuana stores, but limit them to two sites, in response to the proposal being put on the ballot.
