Part 1 of Phase III: “Further Evaluation, Interviews, and Scoring” of the cannabis business permit application process has concluded.  Below is a ranking sheet of Applicants who participated in the interviews.  The ranking is based on the aggregate scores from Phase II and Phase III.  The top 8 applicants for retail, plus the distribution applicant, have been invited to participate in Part 2 of Phase III which is the Public Meeting.  Only the top 8 retail and distribution applicants will participate in the meeting unless one of the other applicants should be successful in an appeal.  We are aiming to schedule the Public Meeting in mid-June to allow for appeals to conclude.  We intend to post more information about the format of the meeting by the first week of May.
