Moorestown to Offer Final Liquor License
Each of the first five licenses the township distributed has brought in about $1 million.
Moorestown's final liquor license will soon go out to bid.
The township has six liquor licenses it is permitted to put out for bid after voters approved the sale of alcohol in 2011. Five of the licenses have already been distributed, and each license has brought in about $1 million.
At the council meeting last Monday, Mayor Chris Chiacchio said the township was allowed to issue six licenses, and that's what it should do, according to the Burlington County Times.
"We've moved forward well on this issue," Councilman Greg Newcomer said Wednesday morning, adding the township has worked hard to make all the licenses available in a specific part of town. "We've made measured progress. It's a good thing."
The specific area Newcomer refers to includes the Moorestown Mall and the East Gate Square Shopping Center.
Township Manager Scott Carew and Township Clerk Patricia Hunt are in charge of putting together the bid.
