Henderson’s first medical marijuana dispensary won unanimous approval Tuesday night from the City Council.

Great Basin Care could open this summer or slightly sooner, said co-owner Brian Greenspun, who is also the publisher of the Las Vegas Sun.

The dispensary will be at 4300 E. Sunset Road, not far from McCarran International Airport. It adds another business to the Greenspun’s Las Vegas interests. The family also developed Green Valley Ranch and owned TV stations and a cable franchise.

The council invited public comment, but no one spoke either for or against the dispensary.

Also Tuesday night, the City Council approved four marijuana grow — or “cultivation” — facilities, also after no public comment. The facilities will be in industrial areas east of U.S. Highway 95, not near homes. [Read more from the Las Vegas Review-Journal]
