North Mankato Council Changes Cannabis Buffer Zone, Affecting Commercial Real Estate
What happened
The North Mankato City Council approved a change to the city code regarding cannabis buffer zones, reducing the required distance from 1,000 to 500 feet from schools. This ordinance change allows a former owner of a brewery to sell his building to a cannabis manufacturer, a sale that was previously prohibited due to the building's location near a preschool facility.
