Corbin To Hold Wet/Dry Election

{Corbin, Kentucky}...The city of Corbin will hold a special election to see if voters want to allow the sale of packaged alcohol. The Whitley County clerk plans to ask the Judge-Executive for a special election on February 21st, but says that could change if Williamsburg files their alcohol petition within the next few days. A total of 692 signatures were collected and certified from Knox and the Whitley County side of Corbin. That’s nearly 300 more than were needed to place the measure on the ballot. Packaged alcohol sales petitions are also circulating in London and Mount Vernon. Corbin already allows the sale of alcohol in restaurants.
