Richmond Heights City Council President Bobby Jordan presided over a town hall meeting held Tuesday at the city's community center. During the meeting, residents expressed their views as to whether the city should allow the dispensing, and/or cultivating and processing of recreational marijuana in Richmond Heights.

Richmond Heights city financial adviser David Conly was among those who spoke during a town hall meeting held Tuesday to discuss the adult-use recreational business.RICHMOND HEIGHTS, Ohio -- There has been much talk in recent weeks at Richmond Heights City Council meetings about the pros and cons of allowing the dispensing within the city of adult-use recreational marijuana.

After listening to several residents speak Tuesday, Jordan, who personally is against the idea of a recreational cannabis business operating in the city, said he will likely call for a council vote to extend that moratorium another six months while further research is conducted.Lawyer Lisa Mack led off the town hall by explaining Ohio law pertaining to recreational marijuana, the sale of which was legalized by Ohio voters last November. On Aug.

Robinson has argued that, by not allowing the business to operate, the city is cutting itself off from revenue, perhaps a large amount of revenue, that could be used to help Richmond Heights City Schools or senior programs. “There’s no cap for those expenses, so who knows how much comes off of the top before the net amount is left over to be distributed back to the host communities,” Conley said. “That, alone, creates a lot of unknowns about what would be left over.”

Rachel Scott, of Highland Road, said she opposed such businesses from religious and practical perspectives.
