The borough assembly will hold a public hearing at its May 25 meeting on a proposed ordinance that would extend the closing time for retail marijuana sales to 10 p.m. from the current limit of 6 p.m.
The assembly was asked during recent public testimony to consider extending the hours for marijuana sales, Borough Manager Lisa Von Bargen reported in her backup material for the ordinance, which was introduced at the May 11 assembly meeting.
The borough “spoke with Wrangell’s only marijuana operator, and his suggestion is to allow operations through 10 p.m., as that seems to be a common time throughout the state,” the manager told the assembly.
“The police chief was consulted, and the police department has no concerns” about the longer hours, Von Bargen wrote.
