NEENAH, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Neenah’s long-standing ban on the sale of alcohol at convenience stores could end Wednesday night.
After a 3-2 committee vote in favor of ending the prohibition, the full Common Council is expected to vote on it Wednesday. There are nine members on the council.
The ban has been in the place since the 1980s. The idea of repealing the ordinance banning convenience stores from selling alcohol has been brought up multiple times in the past few years, but each time it was voted down.
According to the minutes of the Public Services and Safety Committee, there are currently 52 locations in Neenah to purchase alcohol, with 11 conveniences possibly being able to add the product, if the ban is lifted.
The council meets at 7 p.m. Wednesday at City Hall, 211 Walnut St.
