Is there a cap?
No. City Manager Michael Roy told the paper in July 2020 that council believes growth should be market-driven, and councillors turned down Mayor Nick Isgro's proposal to limit adult-use shop permits to three. By then the city clerk had collected $59,750 in permit fees from marijuana businesses, with packages of up to $12,000 for a single business. Ten facilities were operating in December 2020. Anything state-wide is under Maine.
