TUCSON, Ariz. — Nirvana Center Dispensaries is looking to bring its first Tucson location to Park Avenue and Benson Highway. The Arizona-based marijuana dispensary group held the first neighborhood meeting to get feedback from residents on March 6th at the Quincy Douglas Center.
Ayala and her husband stood firmly against a marijuana dispensary being built in the area because of the history of crime in the area. She remembered the two homicides in 2023 at the Minsk Hotel, and the Ocotillo Apartments being condemned in the fall of last year. Both properties are across the street from where the dispensary is looking to build.
“I have nothing against marijuana dispensaries, I know they’re in different parts of town, I see them, however, we’re getting cleaner, we’re getting better, it’s happening. The good stuff is happening, finally happening, for this part of town. And it needs to continue. The dispensary, I honestly would have to say, would be a black eye,” she said.
“This is a property has been vacant for over a decade. Our client says this would be millions of dollars of investment in this corner, to take down the current building and build a new building, to make it really a nice looking corner for this area,” said Juneman.
