            The Alcoholic Beverage Control Board (Board) announces a public hearing to receive testimony on the request of ANC 2E to continue the Georgetown Liquor License Moratorium Zone with seven additional ABC licenses when the existing moratorium expires. 

 

The current Georgetown Liquor License Moratorium Zone is set to expire on April 14, 2010, but was extended to July 14, 2010 in order to hear testimony from the business community as well as the general public.  The Georgetown Moratorium Zone extends approximately eighteen (1800) hundred feet in all directions from the intersection of Wisconsin Avenue, NW, and N Street, NW, Washington, DC.  ANC 2E has requested that the Board expand the existing moratorium to add seven additional new licenses to increase flexibility somewhat in recognition of the large number of licenses in safekeeping.  ANC 2E’s written submission indicates that the moratorium has worked well and that ANC 2E supports the continuation of the moratorium as described above.
