Board of Commissioners will hear appeal to Alcohol Beverage Commission decision
Business July 31, 2022
WHITE COUNTY, Ga. — An appeal to the Alcohol Beverage Commission denial of a license to Jason Graham will return to the Board of Commissioners agenda when it meets in regular session Monday, Aug. 1 at 4:30 pm in the White County Administration Building.
The Commission found the application violates the county ordinance with regard to the distance from a local church. It found the property, which is located at 7607 Main Street in Helen, is too close to the Helen First Baptist Church.
Commission Chairman Travis Turner said he could not recall the Board of Commissioners ever reversing a decision by the Alcohol Beverage Commission. After further discussion, it was decided to table the appeal until the applicant has a chance to look into having the property annexed into the City of Helen.
Other items in Monday’s agenda include:
- The award of a contract for landscaping services for Freedom Park;
- An appointment to the Board of Elections and Registration to fulfill the remainder of a two-year term that will expire December 31.;
- Adoption of a resolution to revise banking institution signatories;
- Presentation of the monthly financial and SPLOST by Finance Director Jodi Ligon
