Three different medical marijuana providers are seeking conditional use permits to operate in Florence, and their applications will receive an initial hearing before the Planning & Zoning Commission on June 2. The Town Council could hold additional hearings and take final action on the requests on June 20.

Applicants include Monarch Wellness Center LLC of Scottsdale, Great Western Developers LLC and Manager Rocky Pahwa, and Thomas and Julie Curtis for the Florence Medical Dispensary. Even if all three proposals obtain town approval, the state does not have unlimited permits to grant.

Florence won the Division III State Boys Track Meet at Mesa Community College on May 14, claiming its first-ever state track team championship without the benefit of a first-place finish. The Gophers finished with 66 points, edging a pair of former 4A schools Gilbert Higley with 65 and Peoria Liberty with 64.

Junior Robert Lewis earned 26 of Florences 66 points with second place finishes in the 100- and 200-meter dashes, the long jump and running one leg of the Gophers second-place 4x100 relay team.
