Ignacio again says no to marijuana businesses

Ignacio town trustees have reaffirmed a ban on any marijuana businesses in town.

Trustees listened to a presentation on Oct. 19 from Josh and Heather Abrell, who hoped to operate a medical marijuana dispensary in town, about the potential financial benefits to the town. But then trustees voted 5-1 to maintain the existing ban on any marijuana businesses. Tom Atencio cast the no vote. He wanted to put it to a community vote.

Unlike the board's Oct. 5 meeting, only one community member showed up for this agenda item and did not comment.
