CORE Benefits: Finding a Suitable Location

The Office of Cannabis Management is excited to announce new benefits for CORE participants. The Map Viewer allows participants to research locations that may permit cannabis business operations within the city. With this tool, participants can explore the zoning of a parcel and its proximity to schools, parks, and other facilities that may impact the type of permits allowed.

Once participants identify the potential site, they can schedule a free CORE Participant Pre-Application Meeting with the Planning Division and other departments involved in subsequent regulatory review steps, such as building permits, the police department, and business operating permits, to determine if the selected site is suitable for cannabis business activities.

The goal of the Map Viewer and Pre-Application Meeting is to offer additional support to CORE participants and to reduce the risks, including time and financial investments, associated with the permit review process.

The Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) is excited to announce a new partnership with Launch Industries to provide Cannabis Opportunity Reinvestment and Equity (CORE) verification services to potential candidates.

Make Green Go & Equity Week

Make Green Go's mission is to address the issue that equity programs are often overlooked. Encouraging consumers to purchase from equity cannabis businesses, including those involved in Cannabis Opportunity Reinvestment and Equity initiatives. In collaboration with the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM), the creation of targeted awareness campaigns combined with cannabis safety education that will increase equity product sales by 40-50% and help get products ON dispensary shelves, benefiting CORE businesses.
