liquor stores sheriff Miles
Candler County Sheriff John Miles speaks to Statesboro City Council and city staff Tuesday in support of The County Line Package Shop’s application to place a liquor store in Statesboro. However, the council declined that location and two others on South Main Street within 1,000 yards of it, giving the applicants 60 days to find new sites. (AL HACKLE/staff)
With two more applications approved at Tuesday’s meeting, Statesboro City Council has now granted location reservations for six liquor stores but at this point has denied six others that met the legal requirements except for being too close to one or more other proposed liquor stores.
