LANSING, Mich. — Neither Delta County nor Menominee County nor the communities within them will be among the 62 cities, 15 villages, 33 townships and 53 counties receiving payments from the Marihuana Regulation Fund this week.

For the state of Michigan’s 2021 fiscal year, each eligible municipality and county will receive $56,453.44 for every licensed retail store and microbusiness located within its jurisdiction, but neither county has stores that qualify.

While retail marijuana stores exist in both Delta and Menominee counties — Lume in Escanaba and The Fire Station in Harris — the stores are operated on tribal lands, making them exempt from the state’s recreational marijuana law and any tax reimbursement.
