STEVENSVILLE — An effort by Stevensville trustees to allow marijuana retailers to open in the village may be decided by voters next year.
Village trustees approved ordinances in November that would allow two marijuana retailers to open in the village along Red Arrow Highway. At the time, they said the money collected from the retailers would be used to fix the village’s roads.
