The City invites you to a community meeting on developing the City’s Cannabis Equity Program on Tuesday, Oct. 17, at 6 p.m. at the Morris B. Vance Community Room at the Vista Civic Center.
The City of Vista is beginning to develop a local cannabis equity program designed to remove barriers to entry into the legal cannabis industry for individuals and communities impacted by cannabis prohibition and the War on Drugs. The City, in collaboration with SCI Consulting Group, has been working on drafting a Cannabis Equity Assessment that will inform the development of the City’s Cannabis Equity Program. At this community meeting, we will provide an update on the Cannabis Equity Assessment and seek your input and feedback.
