The City of Benton Harbor is now accepting applications for recreational marijuana permits.

Beginning today, potential growers, processors and retailers can apply for adult-use permits. This comes after city commissioners approved an amendment to their zoning ordinance.

The ordinance now allows retailers to be in central business districts, with a maximum of six allowed in Benton Harbor.

ABC 57 News reports NOBO Michigan has purchased a vacant building on Water Street, and plans to turn it into a recreational marijuana dispensary. The company already has a medical marijuana facility in town.
