Chairman Byrd called the work session to order at 2:25 p.m. and called on Johnson Tilghman
for presentation of a recommendation from the Harnett Forward Together Committee
regarding sale of alcoholic beverages in Harnett County.
The Harnett Forward Together Committee, from a strictly economic prospective, in order to
provide commercial consumer service to the citizens of the County, has developed a
recommendation regarding the sale of alcoholic beverages in townships that do not have a
municipality. The committee believes in order to attract commercial interests there is a need
to permit the sale of alcohol in those outlying areas. Therefore, its recommendation is for
Harnett County to request its legislators to introduce action which would change the General •
Statute regarding this issue so that citizens in any township in Harnett County that does not
have a municipality located within it, be permitted to vote on whether the sale of alcoholic
beverages in that certain township be allowed. The Board of Commissioners will consider
this recommendation at a future Board meeting.
There being no further business, the meeti g adjourned at 3:15 p.m.
