An agreement is being reached on how to direct proceeds of a recreational marijuana tax for the city of Springfield.
Mayor Domenic Sarno and members of the Springfield City Council have announced that 33-percent of funds received through the three-percent retail sales tax will go to the Impacted Neighborhood Stabilization Fund.
Neighborhoods within a mile-and-a-half radius of each new dispensary in the city will receive revenue for educational and recreational programming for youth and adults, infrastructure improvements and other efforts.
The Mayor vetoed a council vote last month to allow 50 percent of the revenue to go to the neighborhood fund.
