This morning, Aurora will start taking applications for the last recreational dispensary that will be allowed in the city for the foreseeable future. Aurora’s Marijuana Enforcement Division will review the applications and hold in-person meetings with each applicant before announcing a final decision on November 30.
Back in 2013, Aurora City Council capped the number of pot shops that would be allowed at 24, with four locations in each of the city’s six wards; over the last three years, all but one slot has been claimed, this one in ward VI, in southeast Aurora.
