Changes likely coming to Gainesville's alcohol ordinance
Placeholder Image
Gainesville City Council will vote when it meets Tuesday on several proposed changes to Gainesville’s alcohol ordinance, which are meant to promote new businesses and mirror state regulations. The ordinance was first written in 1958, and while amendments have been made over the years, city officials said now was the time for a complete rewrite and overhaul. That’s due, in part, to the emergence over the last year of growlers, craft breweries and farm wineries in the city and county.
