Breweries Coming To Springfield, But Are They Legal?

[strider]

It is my understanding that this issue is going back to LUZ because the notification ordinance was not properly followed and a lot of the business and churches that were to be notified were not.  The ordinance seems to be different for this type of business than most so it mostly likely just got overlooked. In any case, this is still going to need the community support to get done.

I think the inference is that a new brew pub will make more work for them, work that they apparently really do not want to do, because, gee, a brew pub will make you into a homeless alcoholic prostitute, don't ya know.  Too many people here wear blinders and have no clue what is really going on or how things work.

This is more of an old guard/status qou vs new/different battle than a substantative debate.

The churches in the area feel more comfortable with commercial stagnation than new development. And new people.

Plus, they've been fed misinformation by Ted Corley, former pastor, also a key anti-HRO facilitator, to gin up an imaginary boogie man.

Councilman Gaffney is stuck in the middle. What's a politician to do?

I missed it. Who was the one vote against it at the LUZ meeting tonight?

Carter was the only NO vote.
