Cannabis Business Applications Benefitted from COVID

What’s happening? Lansing Michigan began the process of moving applications for cannabis businesses online because of COVID. As a result, the process of an online application became faster for the applicant and for the city.

Why is this important? Application processing time west from 3 months (all paper applications) to 3 weeks (online applications). City worker application processing time also was reduced by 10 hours per application.

How will this be important? Legacy systems are being replaced in local and state governments largely thanks to the need for online/digital solutions that emerged due to the pandemic.
