LANSING, Mich. — More than 200 city and county governments are reaping the benefits of adult-use marijuana sales in Michigan.
The Michigan Department of Treasury says more than $1.8 billion in marijuana was sold during the 2022 fiscal year.
We’re told $59.5 million will be reallocated to 224 municipalities with each receiving nearly $52,000 for every licensed business operating in that time.
"Municipalities and counties will begin seeing these payments appear in their banking accounts," says State Treasurer Rachael Eubanks. "Through a partnership, the dollars received from the adult-use marijuana taxes and fees are distributed to our participating communities."
Here’s a look at how the revenue will be divided up between West Michigan cities:
- Grand Rapids: $881,300
- Kalamazoo: $881,300
- Muskegon: $622,094
- Battle Creek: $518,412
- Grand Haven: $51,841
