Council could place 45-day moratorium on new liquor stores before permanent one
The Antioch City Council will consider a temporary halt to liquor store applications as well as whether to pursue state Homekey Program funding for housing homeless residents during a special meeting on Thursday.
On Tuesday, Councilwoman Monica Wilson held a news conference to urge Mayor Lamar Thorpe to bring the matter regarding new liquor stores before council and also start an appeals process on a use permit the Planning Commission recently approved for a new liquor store, Somersville Plaza Liquor, at 2651 Somersville Road.
For the temporary moratorium to pass, the ordinance would require approval from at least four of the council members. It could be extended for up to 22.5 months.
