A new proposed ordinance could change who decides where exceptions for liquor stores can be allowed after a long-standing battle between a community that is upset by the idea of a new liquor store being built in their neighborhood.
People who live in the Golfair area of Jacksonville have met with city officials to share their concerns about the new liquor store opening up next to an elementary school.
Lydia Bell, president of the Metro Gardens Neighborhood Association, is a 22-year resident and has been speaking out against the store. She said she is happy about the possible ordinance change. “We, Brentwood, the people, are determined that not one bottle of liquor is going to come out of that store,” Bell said. “Then, it’s just some people that like to drink but sometimes when you drink and you’ve got to drive up here you might hit a child. It’s open to have a liquor store but not by a school.“It’s not at the fault of the developer. It’s not at the fault of the school, all those things were done according to the process,” Freeman said.
