Granby Votes To Annex Land To Prevent Opening Of Retail Pot Shop
GRANBY, Colo. (CBS4)- The town council in Granby voted to annex a small piece of county land to block a retail marijuana entrepreneur from opening a pot shop in the mountain town.
The property is a strip mall in which the landlord has agreed to allow a retail marijuana shop. It had been part of unincorporated Grand County.

With the approval of the annexation, the debate is expected to be in front of a judge before the end of the year. Both sides say they're digging in for a long fight.
