Laurens County commissioners table alcohol-license decision for 55 Industrial Blvd after residents allege underage sales
Summary
After residents said a business at 55 Industrial Blvd in Dublin sold alcohol to minors, the board voted to table consideration of the establishment’s alcohol license application while staff gathers more information.
The Laurens County Board of Commissioners on July 21 tabled consideration of an alcohol-license application for a business at 55 Industrial Blvd in Dublin after residents raised concerns that the establishment was selling to minors.
County Administrator Bryan Rogers told the board that "the appropriate filings and advertisements had been properly submitted and reviewed by staff and the sheriff’s department." During public comment, Mrs. Lynn Whittle urged the commissioners to deny the license, saying, "they sell to minors and would not be a responsible business." Commissioner Trae Kemp moved to table the item to allow staff to gather additional information; Commissioner Gerad Mathis seconded, and the motion carried unanimously.
The board did not set a date for resuming consideration of the license. The county did not record any formal findings about compliance or citations in the meeting record; commissioners said the additional information would inform a future decision.
