NORMAL – Town of Normal leaders are being urged once more to ratify plans for a second recreational cannabis business on the town’s north side.
The proposal was submitted by Illinois Health And Wellness LLC, who has applied for a special use permit to plant a new dispensary dubbed “Revolution” in a strip mall property in the 1600 block of Northbrook Drive.
The business anticipates hours of operation to be from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday-Saturday, and 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays. Plans also point to Revolution potentially employing 25 full and part time workers, serving nearly 250 customers a day.
Revolution was founded in Chicago, and has retail sites across four states. It’s dispensary would be located near The Corn Crib and Heartland Community College off Raab Road.
The proposed plans come one month after the town council rejected plans for a recreational marijuana facility at Veterans Parkway and College Avenue.
The proposals are up for review by Normal’s Zoning Board of Appeals on March 16, with the Town Council having the final decision following the meeting.
