There have been 167 needs and desires hearings for new bars, restaurants, dispensaries and cabaret venues in Denver through September 22.The City of Denver just announced a new program that will reimburse attorney fees for owners of new bars, restaurants, dispensaries and entertainment venues that have needs and desires hearings, which are required for all cabaret, cannabis and liquor business licenses.
Bars and restaurants serving alcohol, cannabis dispensaries and hospitality lounges, and cabaret venues must go through a public needs and desires hearing before receiving a local business license. During the hearing, the business owner must show that the surrounding neighborhood has — you guessed it — a need or desire for that particular business to open, while residents and registered neighborhood organizations within the designated community can voice their opposition or support.
"We hope it will be a big help for people in the cannabis industry, when you consider federal cannabis prohibition restriction and access to capital new business owners face, as well as the restaurant industry, especially when you consider how many of them have liquor licenses," Escudero adds.
