During a recent government meeting, officials discussed various topics, including a planned resolution to appreciate service contributions and a request from the Artesia Brewery Company regarding a microbrewery ordinance.

The meeting began with a brief exchange about scheduling future meetings, with participants expressing a preference for early morning sessions to encourage attendance. The chairman noted that everyone is welcome to join these gatherings.

The primary focus shifted to the microbrewery ordinance, where representatives from the Artesia Brewery Company sought a variance. They reported that their business has been thriving, leading to a shortage of product. To address this, they requested permission to source additional product from external suppliers. Although the brewery representatives were initially delayed, they arrived in time to engage in discussions about their request.

The committee considered postponing the decision for another month to allow for further deliberation, as the brewery aims to be prepared for the upcoming fall season. The meeting highlighted the growing success of local businesses and their need for regulatory adjustments to meet demand.
