GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Grand Rapids city planners have determined which medical marijuana growers, transporters and dispensers will get to take the final step toward approval.
City officials brought in a mesh drum for the lottery-style drawing Friday. Each of the 81 applicants’ addresses was taped onto a ping pong ball that was loaded into the revolving drum, then picked out by an official wearing a blindfold emblazoned with the city’s logo.
There were eight rounds of drawing which led to the following results:

Getting in front of the planning commission early doesn’t mean automatic approval. Each proposal will face a public hearing so neighbors can share their concerns and insights.
Grand Rapids officials OK’d medical marijuana facilities in July. They created the application system after being overwhelmed by calls and emails of those interested in cashing in on the industry.
Recreational marijuana was approved by voters last fall. The state has until December to work out statewide rules. After that, local communities must come up with their own guidelines.
