Maryland officials have announced details of a technical assistance program to support marijuana social equity applicants for a business licensing round that opens in November.
The Maryland Cannabis Administration (MCA) and Office of Social Equity (OSE) said on Thursday that people who plan to apply for an equity license will be able to attend informational sessions led by regulators and experts to navigate the process ahead of the 30-day application period.
Those sessions, which will take place at events throughout the state starting in October, will look at issues such as business formation, partnership agreements, finances and taxes and raising capital.
“We believe in the power of knowledge, support, and collaboration. Our upcoming technical assistance events are more than just informational sessions; they are a testament to our commitment to empowering social equity license applicants,” OSE Executive Director Audrey Johnson said in a press release. “Together, we’ll navigate the licensing process, opening doors to opportunities that will shape Maryland’s cannabis industry for the better.”
Meanwhile, the Maryland Department of Commerce (DOC) also announced on Thursday that it has set eligibility requirements for a next funding round for its Social Equity License Application Assistance Reimbursement Grant program.
