Lawrenceville residents to vote on Sunday liquor sales
Aug 2, 2011
Lawrenceville residents will decide in November whether to allow stores to sell alcohol on Sundays.
The Lawrenceville City Council approved a measure allowing the referendum by a three-to-one vote Monday night. A host of other Gwinnett County cities – including Duluth, Norcross, Sugar Hill and Suwanee – will hold similar votes.
Earlier this year the General Assembly authorized local votes on Sunday alcohol sales in retail establishments after a five-year debate.
