BYRON, Minn. (ABC 6 News) — The city of Byron is taking both a step forward and a step back as it weighs the future of its proposed municipal cannabis dispensary. At the October 14, 2025, city council meeting, members approved a key step in the planning process but decided to delay moving ahead with construction plans.
The Byron City Council voted to authorize Planning & Zoning to create a land split for the preferred municipal cannabis dispensary location. The proposed site sits adjacent to the existing Park & Ride, a convenient and accessible area that city leaders believe could serve as an ideal home for Byron's first municipal cannabis dispensary.
The purpose of the land split is to separate the enterprise fund operation from the city's existing property and ensure that all plans comply with local zoning codes. While that represents progress, the council also voted to pause the creation of design and bid documents for the actual building that would house the municipal cannabis dispensary.
The primary reason for the delay is cost. The project's estimated price tag has ballooned from an initial $1.5 million to about $2.5 million.
