500K in Cannabis Funds to be distributed by Grand Traverse County

Grand Traverse County received over $900,000 in cannabis tax revenue for 2024, and county officials are planning to use roughly half of those funds to support area service organizations through its Marijuana Revenue Funds Spending Plan.

The county’s Board of Commissioners has chosen to test an initiative in which $500,000 of those funds will support the county’s strategic plan through partnerships with nonprofits, churches, educational institutions, economic development organizations and other groups.
