Kettering’s moratorium extension is for an additional 12 months, ending May 31, 2018. Kettering City Manager Mark Schweiterman said the year-long extension was to allow for city officials enough time to respond to the rules and regulations adopted by Ohio in September for cultivation and dispensary sites.
“It gives us time to make some decisions,” Schweiterman said.
The emergency ordinance could be overruled by another ordinance before next May if Kettering chooses to do so. Council has the ability to vote, at any time, to take action on the matter, either for or against.
“If we’re ready sooner than that, we’ll take action sooner than that,” Schweiterman said.
