Martin General's Request to Sell Beer in Hands of PLCB, not Council

At last month’s meeting of the Williamsburg Borough Council, representatives from Martin General Store asked council to approve an intermunicipal transfer of a restaurant liquor license from Tyrone Borough to its convenience store in Williamsburg.

By a vote of three to two with one abstention, council rejected Martin General’s request, seemingly putting an end to the convenience store’s plan to sell beer in Williamsburg.

However, after reviewing its options, Martin officials discovered that council’s approval for the transfer was not needed and has proceeded with plans to sell alcohol.
