Opposition From Liquor Store Owners Kills Proposed Regulation Change

April 10, 2024 Business, Business News, Township Council

**ORDINANCE DEFEATED –** An ordinance that would have removed a 2,000-foot distance requirement between liquor stores, promoted by Mayor Phil Kramer, was defeated after facing stiff opposition from township liquor store owners.

An ordinance that would have eliminated the requirement that liquor stores be located at least 2,000 feet from each other was defeated at the April 9 Township Council meeting after liquor store owners showed up to oppose the measure.

The store owners told the Council that allowing future liquor license holders to set up shop closer than 2,000 feet to another store would give them a competitive edge that current license holders could not enjoy.
