Recreational Cannabis 101 Workshop

The state of Illinois has approved the use of recreational cannabis, beginning Jan. 1, 2020. This decision will allow the use of recreational cannabis (with restrictions) in all Illinois municipalities, including Lombard. While local governments do not have jurisdiction over that decision, the consideration of zoning associated with future recreational cannabis facilities will be discussed. 

Workshop Information

The potential of recreational cannabis businesses opening in Lombard will be discussed at a Recreational Cannabis 101 Workshop on Wednesday, July 31 at 7 p.m., at Village Hall. All Village meetings are open to the public. The discussion will be informational only and is designed to allow Board Members the opportunity to ask questions related to recreational cannabis businesses opening within Lombard. No final decisions will be made at this informational workshop.
