City changes one alcohol rule
Other adjustments pending
City Statesboro logo
At its last regular meeting in January, Statesboro City Council changed one aspect of the city’s alcohol law, on how surveyors measure and record the 100-yard minimum distance between a place that serves or sells alcohol and a church, school or alcohol treatment center. The amendment, proposed by the city’s planning and development staff, also deleted a 100-yard requirement between the wall of any drinking establishment and the property line of any home in a single-family residential district. But several other changes, vetted by the city attorney and recommended by the Alcohol Advisory Board, were only given a first reading Jan. 17, and await action at another meeting.
