The Fort Pierre City Council has approved a conditional use permit so a medical marijuana business can be established on Sale Barn Road.
Teresa Gilk with Bad River Cannabis says the business will include growing of medical cannabis as well as a dispensary.
Public Works Director Rick Hahn says the conditional use permit is needed for the location (1105 Sale Barn Road) because the area is zoned industrial.
“It requires permission for retail sales because it’ll have retail sales. Our typical terms are 12 to 18 months so they have time to get it built.”

Mayor Gloria Hanson says Fort Pierre has approved three medical cannabis dispensaries.
“I think that one surprise to us is that everyone is local– all three of the applicants are local. That’s what did surprise me and we’re happy about that.”

In South Dakota, towns determine the rules for medical marijuana dispensaries, but the actual business licenses for them comes from the State of South Dakota.
