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.
