A medical marijuana dispensarywill be allowed to open on Orange Avenue, south of downtown, after all.
Surterra has dropped a lawsuit it filed last month challenging Orlando’s medical cannabis ordinance. It will hold a grand opening Thursday at 2 p.m. at its store near Orlando Health.
It will join Knox Cannabis Dispensary on Orange Avenue south of Princeton Street and Trulieve Orlando on Orange Blossom Trail at Lee Road as dispensaries within city limits.
“[The store] is already in the medical district and it’s on the opposite side of the city from our two competitors,” said Surterra vice president Nick Monette. “Being centrally located, Orlando is definitely a place we do a lot of deliveries.”
