City leaders discussed the zoning plans at Wednesday night’s council meeting. say they’re looking at grapefruit boulevard as the operating zone for dispensaries.
Many say it’s an area that could use a boost — after the decline in the automotive businesses in the area
“We’re saying, let’s concentrate it in an area so that we can see that area redeveloped,” Mayor Hernandez said. “We have a unique opportunity to do this right, study it thoroughly and create a zone as opposed to putting it throughout the city.”
A final decision is scheduled to be made by the city on December 13.
