NM liquor laws threaten small town vitality in Silver City
A two day Economic and Rural Development committee meeting in Silver City examined how limited liquor licenses priced over $500000 push small town businesses to larger cities. Panelists and Sen. William Sharer warned that while fairness is needed for current license holders, many towns risk dying without affordable options for entertainment and events. Local restaurateurs like Alex Ocheltre e of Billys Wild West BBQ highlighted how downtowns rely on weekends, volunteers, and sponsorships to draw crowds from Tucson and El Paso, contrasting Bisbee where loosened rules attract business and visitors.
