One of the measures being taken up in the Kentucky General Assembly could mean an increase in alcohol retailers in Lexington. The legislation affects five counties. It would reduce the population requirement for a license from one for every 23 hundred people to one license for every 2000 people. Nicholasville GOP Senator Killian Timoney spoke in committee about what it might mean in central Kentucky
“This is definitely impactful in Lexington as I think right now there are two vacant licenses. And we have several major major retail organizations that are trying to come in and they will not break ground until there’s a little bit more movement in that particular area,” said Timoney.
