Friends, as many of you know, Olivia dances at Forte Arts Center in Morris, IL. A medicinal pot dispensary is being considered for the building next door. Current local law states a business of that nature must be at least 1,000 feet away from a school. FAC has a preschool, the buildings share a parking lot, and they are approximately 50 feet apart. Please join me in opposition to this initiative. You may call 815.942.1855 to leave your opinion with the Building and Zoning Officer. Please also sign this virtual petition. The law is in place for a reason. Let's make our voices heard to protect the innocence of children.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many people care about the safety of our children at the arts center. This momentum belongs entirely to you because I never imagined this would reach so many people.

My kids go to dance here and I am so uncomfortable with having that business right next door. Not the right spot for it at all.

I do not believe that this would be the right location for this type of facility. My daughter takes dance classes at Forte Arts Center, and I feel this would not be ideal for the young dancers as well as preschoolers.

Mt grand daughters go to Forte Arts Center. Let's keep this a healthy environment for the children.

Something like a medicinal marijuana dispensary should be kept in a more remote location then next to a dance school / preschool. It would make more sense and be easier to secure and offer more protection of privacy to those who indeed need to use it. This should not be located anywhere near a place that is frequented by children.
