The Board of Commissioners on Tuesday approved several measures. Here are some highlights:
Former grocery store to become county storage facility
A contract to renovate a former grocery store on Grayson Highway in Lawrenceville has been given the green light. The renovated 87,000 square-foot facility will house county government records, emergency management equipment plus office and workspaces. The Records Management Center will be relocated from its current location on Grayson Highway.
The contract was awarded to Hogan Construction Group, LLC for $6 million and will come from the County’s construction services budget.
Changes to how alcohol is sold
The board also voted to change the current county ordinance to allow deliveries of wine and beer from licensed businesses, mixed drink sells with takeout orders from restaurants and extended alcohol sales on Sunday.
The new hours for beer and wine sales on Sunday have been extended two hours. Now residents can purchase alcohol beginning at 11:00am until midnight.
The updated ordinance follows on the heels of updates to state law.
