Cannabis retail rollout and city revenue
Summary
Riverside is rolling out up to seven storefront cannabis dispensaries, one per ward. Two are open and six are targeted by end of summer, but revenue figures can't be shared until at least two stores operate — a key number since this program was referred to the budget commission for its revenue implications.

Impact analysis
14 jobs so far from the first store, with revenue projections to come once two stores are open; permit fees cover city costs without Measure Z funds.
Residents get new retail options and city revenue potential, plus new local jobs as stores open.
