Description:

Eligible applicants must be local governments that have not banned both indoor and outdoor commercial cannabis cultivation, or retail sale of marijuana or marijuana products.

Applicants must propose activities/strategies that fall within the four (4) Project Purpose Areas (PPAs) defined below. Applicants may either implement new activities, strategies, or programs, OR expand existing activities, strategies, or programs (without the supplantation of funds).

All applicants must address PPA 1 (Youth Development/Youth Prevention and Intervention) and are required to budget a minimum of ten percent (10%) of requested grant funds for this area.
