Libertyville to consider marijuana sales ban

The Libertyville village board on Tuesday will consider an ordinance prohibiting cannabis business establishments. Libertyville is among many communities deciding whether to allow marijuana sellers or opt out before the use and sale of recreational marijuana becomes legal Jan. 1. The plan commission recommended against allowing sales in town but that determination is advisory. If recreational sales are allowed by the village board, the commission recommended 6-0 they be limited to industrial areas and require a special use. The village board meeting is at 8 p.m. at the Libertyville Civic Center, 135 W. Church St.
