NORWAY — The Norway City Council on Monday struck growing facilities and microbusinesses from its ordinance allowing marijuana establishments within city limits.

Such operations will not be allowed in Norway to avoid odor issues, City Manager Ray Anderson said. The council requested the change at the June 7 meeting and can revisit the issue in the future if it wishes, Anderson said.

Because of the amendment, a resolution that would have defined the process for accepting, evaluating and approving applications for licenses to operate marijuana businesses was removed from Monday’s agenda, as it had several references to growing facilities and microbusinesses. Additionally, the city needed more time to refine the rubric for evaluating the businesses, Anderson said.

While Michigan voters in 2018 approved recreational marijuana sales, Norway citizens voted against the move, 641 no to 541 yes. The council cited that opposition in passing an ordinance in December 2018 to forbid marijuana businesses in Norway.

But the council revisited its decision Dec. 7, with Mayor Candy Brew, council members Jeff Muraro and Scott Popp and former member Jeremy Oja voting to amend the ordinance. The council adopted an ordinance allowing marijuana facilities within city limits May 3 on a 4-1 vote, with member Bret Kraemer opposed.
