Items for Neighborhood Input: ABRA License and Medical Marijuana Dispensary

Big Ben's liquor license is up for review.  Because there is Voluntary Agreement, we have an opportunity to review that agreement and the recent history of any crime related to the address.

We also will be reviewing the application for a medical marijuana dispensary application currently being considered for our neighborhood.  The official application is here; if you would like the 25 page proposal, please e-mail Hanover ACA to the gmail list to the right and it will be sent to you.

SOME Candidate Forum

 So Others Might Eat (SOME) located at 71 O Street NW will be conducting a Candidates Forum on April 25th at 2pm.  To date, 9 out of the 14 candidates for the Ward 5 seat have confirmed participation.
