CANNABIS ORDINANCE PUBLIC WORKSHOPS

There are two public workshops next week – Tuesday evening in Hayfork and Wednesday evening in Weaverville.  A third workshop has been added for the following week – Wednesday evening in Weaverville.  This third workshop will be promoted in the Trinity Journal next week to help create awareness.  We are allocating three hours for each of these meetings.

You can read the full draft of the proposed ordinance updates via the link provided below.  Please understand that this is a working draft.  Input received via these public workshops will be considered when preparing the version that will be shared with the Planning Commission later this year.
