Wayne County Judge-Executive Mike Anderson swears in Solid Waste Coordinator Randy Jones as the new ABC Administrator Monday during a special-called meeting of Fiscal Court.
Selling alcohol in neighboring Wayne County just cleared a major hurdle with the selection of officials to oversee local operations.
Wayne Fiscal Court approved a second reading of the Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) Ordinance on Monday that sets license fees for establishments selling alcohol and levies a tax on all alcoholic beverages sold in the county.
The county ordinance does not allow for Sunday sales or stand-alone bars. However, it does require the hiring of an ABC Administrator to oversee the issuing of licenses and to collect taxes and fees.
