How will the Village manage public safety if a dispensary is allowed in the Village?

Other communities have been surveyed. No changes in safety calls for service were reported. Some responses included parking or traffic concerns at some locations, this may be due to the early openings of dispensaries and high demand.  Public safety is the Village’s top priority and any specific security concerns will be addressed.
