Why it matters

The effort is intended to bring more restaurants, jobs, and business development to north Amarillo, as organizers argue that current alcohol restrictions have limited restaurant growth in the area. The petition seeks to allow businesses to operate similarly to areas where off-premise alcohol sales are permitted.
