Cannabis dispensary coming to Elburn

Elburn continues to evolve as a community where growth, regulation, and local oversight come together, and the latest village board decision highlights how the town balances progress with thoughtful planning. The approval of a new cannabis dispensary represents not just a local business development but also a wider reflection of how Elburn aligns its policies with state laws while maintaining the character of the village.

Six years after Elburn officials enacted an ordinance to allow a cannabis dispensary in the village, the village board has approved canAFarm Dispensary's at 202 W. North St.

Anticipating a state law that would make the sale of recreational cannabis legal in January 2020, the village board passed the ordinance in September 2019 to have more control over the regulations.

The village's rules prohibit on-site consumption or a dispensary within 150 feet of a school or day care. The maximum hours of business from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and only one dispensary is permitted for every 10,000 people in town, under the village's regulations.

When canAFarm, LLC CEO Talvin White approached the village in August about locating a dispensary at the North Street site, commissioners noted this was the third time White had come with his request. The first two requests received conditional approval from the plan commission, but real estate issues prevented them from moving forward.
