At its September meeting, the Cannabis Control Board voted to stop accepting new retail applications as of Oct. 25, 2024. For more details you can read the full announcement in this news release.
New retail applications will remain unavailable until the Board votes to reopen this license type. This is expected to occur after the new siting rules take effect, anticipated in late spring 2025. However, no specific date has been set, as this timeline is subject to the ongoing rule-making process.
