A city in southwest Arkansas is creating a legal structure to accommodate medical marijuana entrepreneurs who are approved for state licenses.

A Planning Commission workshop Tuesday in Texarkana focused on appropriate zones for the potential medical marijuana businesses.

City Manager Kenny Haskin tells the Texarkana Gazette (City is preparing for medical marijuana sales | Texarkana Breaking News ) that Texarkana has responded to about 70 to 80 inquiries about opening medical cannabis cultivation centers. Haskin says some of those potential operators have come with "shovel ready" plans.

Texarkana officials are working to establish zoning and permit rules for the medical marijuana businesses since entrepreneurs could begin submitting applications for operating licenses starting Friday.

The Planning Commission's recommendations are expected to be completed by July.

Arkansas voters opted to legalize marijuana in November 2016.
