Notable Quotes (2)

We get a lot of interest from the cannabis world here in Oak Park Heights. I think that's not a surprise to you all just with our proximity here to the highway proximity to Wisconsin.

Jacob Rife
Cannabis business growthExplaining the high number of cannabis dispensary inquiries.

I think it's good for the city, it's good for us to be part of the city council meetings. If even if we're not representing officially, I think it's good for the council to see that we as members of the planning commission are dedicated.
