SEVEN MILE, Ohio, Jan. 21, 2026 — Bloom Cannabis today commends the State of Ohio for commencing the distribution of host community cannabis fund payments, offering long-awaited tax revenue to municipalities that host adult use cannabis dispensaries.
As reported by the Dayton Daily News, communities across the Miami Valley are now receiving millions of dollars generated from regulated cannabis sales, with disbursements made feasible through Senate Bill 56. Local governments can utilize these funds to support crucial priorities such as public safety, infrastructure, and general operations.
In Seven Mile, a small village in Butler County and a northern suburb of Cincinnati, which is home to Bloom’s dispensary on Main Street, the community is set to receive approximately $400,842 in host community funds, a significant investment for a village of roughly 700 residents.
“Today is precisely what responsible cannabis regulation looks like in practice,” said Nicole Stark, CEO of Bloom Cannabis. “When Ohio voters approved adult use legalization, they envisioned tangible, measurable benefits for local communities, and these initial distributions demonstrate that the model is effective. Communities like Seven Mile deserve to witness the direct impact of hosting regulated businesses, and we’re proud to be part of that positive economic engine.”
According to the Dayton Daily News, Dayton received approximately $1.095 million, Monroe received approximately $885,597, and Riverside received approximately $538,653, among other local distributions.
“Bloom’s mission has always been centered on conducting cannabis operations correctly – safely, compliantly, and with great respect for the communities where we operate,” Stark added. “This funding helps cities and villages enhance essential services while creating a transparent, regulated marketplace that generates jobs, stimulates local spending, and contributes to long-term community stability.”
Bloom operates dispensaries across Ohio and other regulated markets, employing residents and contributing to community partnerships and outreach. The company supports responsible adult use access, consumer education, and strong compliance standards designed to safeguard patients and adult consumers alike.
