Social equity cannabis business groups face many obstacles and challenges to becoming operational despite the support from the State of Illinois.”}
The new Seven Point Cannabis Dispensary is going to be built on land along the west side of Lynch Road, a short distance north of interstate 74. Danville’s first cannabis dispensary….Sunnyside….is just down the street.
Tim Dudley, President and CEO of Vermilion Advantage, expects to see more development in the area on Danville’s east side….
