A pair of companies with initial Illinois cannabis dispensing licenses hope to operate in Wadsworth within a few miles of the Wisconsin state line where no marijuana products can be sold but only one of them may get the final OK from the state.
Before Nature’s Grace can open, DiPersio said it must receive a building permit to renovate a space and both an occupancy permit as well as a business license from the village to operate. Though two dispensaries can operate in Wadsworth, they must be at least 1,500 feet apart, according to Illinois law, though there are some exceptions depending on the timing of the issuance of the license and conditions under which it was granted.
