Public Forum On Cannabis Income Reinvestment

The Kent County Local Management Board will host a public forum Wednesday, Sept. 24, at 6 p.m. at Washington College’s Innovation Plant, 800 High St., to gather input on how to reinvest in low-income communities using new funding from the Maryland Office of Social Equity. The Kent County News reports the funding comes from the Community Reinvestment and Repair Fund, created through the Cannabis Reform Act, which legalized adult-use recreational cannabis. A portion of the sales tax from cannabis sales is allocated to the fund, which is intended to address the impact of past cannabis prohibition on communities disproportionately affected by the war on drugs.
