The Isanti County Commissioners held a meeting on March 18 to address potential changes to the county’s cannabis ordinance. They specifically discussed whether the process for amendments should start with the county’s Planning Commission or proceed directly from the commissioners themselves. This conversation arose from concerns voiced during public commentary when the ordinance was initially approved, particularly regarding the cultivation of cannabis in local agricultural districts.
Commissioner Greg Dardis emphasized the need to consider input from the Planning Commission before making any amendments. He noted that understanding the implications of cannabis farming on the agricultural landscape is crucial for informed decision-making.
No formal vote was taken during this meeting, but the discussion highlighted the importance of community feedback in shaping the future of cannabis regulation in Isanti County. The commissioners acknowledged the ongoing need for dialogue about how cannabis farming will fit into the county’s agricultural framework.
