The Legal and Legislative Committee for Granite City, Illinois reviewed a CVS liquor license issue at a recent meeting.
At the meeting’s start, Mayor Ed Hagnauer noted that CVS is proposing a new building in front of Ravanelli’s and wants a liquor license. Unfortunately for CVS, the building would be 300 feet from the area’s school and it can therefore not receive the license. The mayor further stated that he discussed several options for CVS including owning the entire building land and not just the parking lot.
Later, the committee made a motion to reduce the square footage amount down to 10,000 square feet per building in order to obtain a liquor license. The motion carried.
As for the meeting’s other major topic, the committee went over the TPP Trans Pacific Partnership. The committee discussed a resolution opposing extension of trade policies.
