Detroit Corporate Counsel Melvin "Butch" Hollowell said the city is "making meaningful progress" in closing medical marijuana dispensaries that don't comply with the city's zoning ordinance.
Of the 273 dispensaries that were counted in the city in March, 171 are still operating, he said.
Hollowell's goal earlier this year was to close all but about 50 of the dispensaries by December. He said city maps of dispensaries that meet zoning ordinance criteria "show room for about 50" in the city limits.
"Eighty seven (of the 273) are out of business. Seven of those closed voluntarily, and 80 we've closed," he said.
