CHARLOTTE — Eaton County’s first recreational marijuana shop has seen strong sales in its first two weeks since opening, according to employees — a boon to local users and, likely, to the city’s coffers as well.
Harbor Farmz Provisioning Center, 122 Lansing Road, has seen several thousand customers come through its doors since opening June 10, Assistant General Manager Alyssa Murray said.
“Definitely we’ve had a, I’d say, positive response from lots of people, from Charlotte, Olivet, Bellevue, they’re all coming in,” Murray said.
While Lansing and Ingham County had previously embraced recreational marijuana sales and the tax money the once-illegal products brought in, Eaton County until now had remained without a recreational marijuana outlet and the state revenue that means for local communities.
