At its last regular meeting in January, Statesboro City Council changed one aspect of the city’s alcohol law, on how surveyors measure and record the 100-yard minimum distance between a place that serves or sells alcohol and a church, school or alcohol treatment center. The amendment, proposed by the city’s planning and development staff, also deleted a 100-yard requirement between the wall of any drinking establishment and the property line of any home in a single-family residential district. But several other changes, vetted by the city attorney and recommended by the Alcohol Advisory Board, were only given a first reading Jan. 17, and await action at another meeting.
