Greeneville City Council proposes limiting amount of liquor stores

Greeneville City Council members have proposed a new ordinance that would limit the location and number of permits allowed for new liquor stores. Greeneville now has six liquor stores within the town and the new ordinance would not affect the existing shops. The town has always had the ability to limit liquor stores but has never taken action to do so. The new ordinance would limit permits based on population. The new ordinance will be voted on during the City Council meeting on Tuesday.
