Businesses that applied for retail cannabis licenses in the city of Redding will have to wait a little longer to learn their fate.
City Manager Barry Tippin had hoped to announce on Thursday the names of at least several businesses that made the first cut to sell, grow, test or deliver legal, recreational marijuana within the city limits.
However, city officials said Thursday afternoon they need more time to evaluate the 18 proposals, many of which run more than 200 pages.
“We received many quality proposals, and city staff and I are diligently reviewing and discussing the merits of each with the intent of selecting the proposals that best reflect what the city is looking for in this new retail venture,” Tippin said in press release.
