Denver's Social-Use Advisory Committee Meets This Week: The Action Thus Far

A Refresher Course in Advance of Denver’s Social-Use Advisory Committee Meeting

It's been a long road for Initiative 300. Last summer, some people doubted that Denver's social-use provision would pass — and the vote tally wasn't official until a week after the November 8 election. But now, under the city's schedule, businesses will have to wait until this summer before they can submit applications for permits. On January 18, Denver's social-use advisory committee will hold its first meeting, and begin crafting other rules for implementation.
