ESCAMBIA COUNTY ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE ORDINANCE

Escambia County Commissioners voted yesterday to approve an ordinance allowing retail alcohol beverage sales seven days a week throughout the entire county except between 2:30 and 6 a.m. The ordinance will go into effect after it’s filed with the Florida Department of State. County Attorney Alison Rogers said the county has up to 10 days to send in the ordinance. The new ordinance passed 4-0 Thursday, with Commissioner Lumon May out of the room at the time of the vote.
