From the meeting
At the November 10, 2026 meeting, council initiated a zoning text amendment to regulate marijuana establishments and retail cannabis sales starting July 1, 2027. Staff said the Virginia Cannabis Control Authority will begin accepting applications on February 1, 2027 and recommended local ordinances be adopted by that date. The draft would limit retail marijuana stores to the Commercial District, cultivation and processing uses to the Industrial District, and require a Special Use Permit, site plan, and zoning permit.
Decision state: text amendment initiation was proposed for council action.

What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
