Summary
The city has signaled it intends not to renew the alcohol licenses of Tequila's Mexican Restaurant and the Citgo on State Road, and both businesses got hearings to argue their case. The outcomes affect whether these neighborhood businesses can keep serving alcohol — and in the gas station's case, selling tobacco and vaping products.
