DAYTON—The Columbia County Commissioners have scheduled a public hearing for 10:30 a.m. on Sept. 4. Planning Director Meagan Bailey will present findings of fact regarding the Columbia County Code and new marijuana production, processing and sales in the county. Public comment will be taken during the meeting.

A six-month emergency moratorium was imposed by the commissioners on July 16 to give the County Planning Commission time to address deficiencies within the code concerning the number of grows, processors and retail businesses allowed in the county.
