Nazareth City Council approves beer permits for Applebee's and Dogwood Brazilian Jiu Jitsu event

The City of Dyersburg's Board Meeting on March 17, 2025, highlighted significant developments in local business and community events, particularly the approval of two beer permits that promise to enhance local entertainment options.

The meeting commenced with a moment of reflection, honoring first responders and setting a respectful tone for the discussions ahead. Following routine approvals, the board turned its attention to new business, where Lieutenant Dantley presented two public hearings for beer permits.

The first permit was granted to Applebee's, located on Lake Road. This approval followed a thorough background investigation, which revealed no issues that would prevent the issuance of the permit. The police department recommended the permit, noting that the establishment is under new corporate ownership, which has a solid track record with other restaurant chains.

The second permit was for a one-day event hosted by Juan Perez at Dogwood Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, scheduled for April. This event, a Jiu Jitsu tournament at the fairgrounds, has been successfully held in the past, and the police department again recommended approval based on a clean background check and adherence to safety requirements.

Both permits were approved unanimously by the board, reflecting a commitment to fostering local business and community engagement. The meeting also addressed necessary equipment repairs for the solid waste and wastewater departments, ensuring that essential city services remain operational.

As Dyersburg continues to grow, these decisions mark a proactive approach to enhancing local amenities and supporting community events, setting the stage for a vibrant future.
