As Stillwater wrestles with cannabis shop locations, what are other east metro cities seeing?

The thought that a cannabis retail store could one day open near his youth hockey training center in Stillwater has outraged LumberYard Hockey and Sports Center co-owner Lee Erickson. Erickson was commenting on a proposal for a recreational cannabis shop at 1754 Washington Ave., just south of the LumberYard, which trains thousands of young hockey, baseball, basketball, volleyball, soccer and football players each year. If it is determined to be a park amenity, then the cannabis shop would be within the city’s 500-foot buffer requirement and wouldn’t be allowed without a variance.
