Marijuana business is OK’d

Members of the Westland Planning Commission approved the plans for a marijuana retail business and cultivation center during the March 2 meeting.

The business will be a new construction at 37501 and 36505 Cherry Hill Road and will require the demolition of a house currently on the property. Plans submitted include a 6,080-square-foot retail center called Kinship and a separate 21,313-square-foot cultivation center at the site.

Kinship owner Curt Molino told the commission members that the business was striving for “more of a wellness feel. We really want it to be professional and classy,” he said during the meeting. 

City Planning Director Mohamed Ayoub told the commissioners that there were no current lawsuits pending against the city regarding marijuana businesses.

The plans will now be submitted to members of the city council for review and approval.
