EDWARDSVILLE The rezoning of the Rosewood Heights Farm Fresh store to allow the sale of packaged liquor was approved by the Madison County Board after a long debate Wednesday.
The board OK’d a request by Priyan Patel on behalf of Sejal Patel and SSM Dairy Corp. to allow the rezoning of the Farm Fresh at 740 E. Airline Drive from R-3 Residential to B-5 Business.
The change would allow the sale of packaged liquor, but would require additional action for any other requests, such as a license to pour alcohol or allow video gaming, which local residents had adamantly opposed.

EDWARDSVILLE A series of committee meetings and an executive session at Wednesday’s Madison County Board meeting are planned to deal with pending litigation, including a possible vote on settlement.
Possible settlements could include lawsuits involving former Community Development Director Kristen Poshard or the Veteran’s Assistance Commission.
An amendment to the Madison County Board’s Agenda Monday included an executive session “for the purpose of discussing pending or imminent litigation” to be followed by an open session “for the purpose of approving settlement of pending litigation” discussed in the executive session.
