The 1937 Group is seeking a special-use permit to allow it open a marijuana dispensary at the shuttered Scott Credit Union at 91st Street and Kedzie Avenue. A Chicago-based marijuana company is providing more details about its proposal to add a dispensary in the south suburbs after community members in Evergreen Park demanded answers to lingering questions and corrections about the group’s proposal.
“There isn’t a cannabis dispensary within 3 1/2 miles of Evergreen Park,” said Sonia Antolec, the chief legal officer for the group. “That revenue is going and those jobs are going to other communities. We do intend and would hire locally if the ordinance passes.” Residents and village trustees grilled the company’s CEO and other officials, expressing frustration over the pitch’s incorrect figures, unclear financial projections and problems inherent to marijuana sales.Trustees expressed concern the company was unable to project how much revenue the store would generate for the village in its first year.
With the village receiving 3% of sales through taxes, Evergreen Park would see a six-figure revenue gain, the group said.. Residents also expressed skepticism about traffic concerns, why the store needs to be open until 9 p.m. and the possibility of people using fake identification. One resident said she read a study that stated marijuana stores were bad for the economy of a town, and was challenged to present that study contradicting what the group cited.
