As of December 23, when the state sent out its first round of licenses, 42 retail marijuana business applicants had completed the City and County of Denver's business licensing process, which means they could receive their city license in time to began operations on January 1. That total includes stores, grow facilities and infused product manufacturing facilities.
All retail marijuana store licenses issued in Denver will be listed on the Excise and Licenses site complete with a map, starting at 5 p.m. today. There are no stores listed there now, but you can check out the page here. It already includes links to hearing dates, documents, other agencies -- and Denver's official marijuana rules page that the city's marketing department rolled out on December 9, and basically welcomes you to marijuana use pagea World of No. (See one of the graphics from that site below.)
At 5 p.m., Excise and Licenses should be telling you where you'll hear "yes" on January 1.
