Alcohol sales in Letcher County could begin in March.
In November voters approved countywide alcohol sales by an overwhelming vote of 4711 for it and 2009 against.
It has been supported by the Letcher County Sheriff’s Office because tax money from the
sales can go toward equipment, payroll, vehicles and more.
The Mountain Eagle reports at their meeting this week the County Attorney told the Fiscal Court he has completed the first draft of the ordinance governing alcohol sales here and can have it ready for a first reading in January.
It will require two readings to become county law.
