Cannabis Funds Public Hearing
St. Mary's County commissioners are expected to make a final decision July 21 on an ordinance that would establish how more than $1.5 million in state cannabis reinvestment funding can be distributed — including allowing some of the money to be spent outside Lexington Park, the county's only state-designated disproportionately impacted area.
County Reviews Zoning on Gas Stations, Dollar Stores
A proposed zoning change that would require new gas stations, small-box discount stores and vape shops to undergo additional public review is advancing to a public hearing after receiving preliminary approval from the St. Mary's County Commissioners.
