Because of tougher zoning laws, special permission would be needed from the Anchorage Assembly.
“This is a little bit more conservative part of town,” former assembly person Debbie Ossiander from Eagle River said. “And there was not a lot of joy about pot shops, and so they specifically recommended stricter zoning and that passed the assembly, and that’s the way the law is now.”
“Opening a retail cannabis store in Eagle River will provide local residents with a legal, tested, and regulated product without having to travel to Anchorage or the Valley. It will also create well-paying jobs, increased tax revenue, and reduce the black market trade in unregulated, untested, and untaxed marijuana,” reads a
“A local government may prohibit the sale or importation for sale of marijuana and any marijuana product and the operation of any marijuana establishment through the enactment of an ordinance or by a voter initiative. The local option laws are found in Title 17.38 of the Alaska Statutes and Title 3 of the Alaska Administrative Code,” reads the state statues under the Alcohol and Marijuana Control office.
“Providing a regulated marketplace will improve public safety by ensuring both that products are not sold to minors, and they are properly tested to ensure it is safe for human consumption and to know potency of the product. The final benefit to the municipality at large is the increase of tax revenue to support important local government services offsetting property taxes,” Constant said in an email.
The proposed shop is just off North Eagle River Loop road. It’s in a short, squat brown building that currently houses flooring supplies.
