Hoffman Estates officials have adopted regulations for the sale of recreational marijuana in the village, limiting the number of dispensaries at three and dictating three specific business areas in which they can be located.
Hoffman Estates village board members Monday gave final approval to regulations on businesses selling recreational marijuana by a 4-2 vote, largely sticking to their recommendation votes of two weeks earlier.
