State auctions 10 year retail liquor leases in Charleston
Charleston AP The state has received 117 bids for 10 year leases on retail liquor outlets as it seeks to raise about 20 million for the budget. The Alcohol Beverage Control Commission mailed 1 085 bid packages to prospective storeowners and identified 214 potential outlets across 98 market zones. Most licenses would permit multiple stores per owner with bids subject to checks on completeness and tampering. Don McGiver notes the number accepted and minimum amounts remain undecided. The sale was authorized by the Legislature after prior governors resisted similar changes.
