Charlotte, some towns plan to ban late-night alcohol sales to slow spread of COVID-19
Late-night alcohol sales will soon be limited in Charlotte and some surrounding towns to help slow the spread of COVID-19, Mecklenburg County Manager Dena Diorio told elected officials and administrators in an email Wednesday morning.
We are currently drafting the language that will be signed by the (county commissioners) Chair and the respective mayors, Diorio wrote.
The planned restriction would prohibit alcohol sales after 10 p.m. in unincorporated parts of Mecklenburg County, the city of Charlotte, and in the towns of Davidson, Matthews and Mint Hill, Diorio said in the email shared with The Charlotte Observer by a county commissioner and a spokesperson for Mecklenburg.
