About GO-Biz Cannabis Equity Grants Program for Local Jurisdictions

The Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz) administers the Cannabis Equity Grants Program for Local Jurisdictions to aid local equity program efforts to support equity applicants and equity licensees. Offering technical support, regulatory compliance assistance, and assistance with securing the capital necessary to begin a business will further the stated intent of the Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA) by reducing barriers to entry into the regulated cannabis industry. Offering these types of support will also aid the state in its goal of eliminating or reducing the illicit cannabis market by bringing more people into the legal marketplace.
