Anchorage Assembly Meeting - AR 2026-321 Marijuana License Renewal

The Anchorage Municipal Assembly is considering Resolution AR No. 2026-321, which formally waives the municipality's right to protest the renewal of State of Alaska marijuana licenses for seven specific businesses. The establishments include cultivation facilities, retail stores, and manufacturing operations located within the Anchorage area. Under Anchorage Municipal Code (AMC) 10.80.120D., municipal licenses are renewed on a two-year cycle. Because these specific businesses are not currently due for their municipal license renewal, the Municipal Clerk has recommended that the Assembly waive its protest to the state-level renewal process. The Assembly is required to file any protests with the Alcohol and Marijuana Control Office (AMCO) within 60 days of receiving notice of a complete application. With the notice received on or after October 12, 2026, the deadline for filing a protest is December 11, 2026. The resolution authorizes the Municipal Clerk to notify AMCO that the Assembly has no objection to the renewals.
