The Department of Licensing and Consumer Affairs (DLCA) Office is hosting a town hall to address pending applications for new alcohol licenses as well as pending renewal applications, including night club and cabaret business licenses.
The town hall meeting begins 6 p.m., Wednesday, Dec. 4, at the Small Business Development Center located in Nisky Center on St. Thomas. The second town hall is at 6p.m., Thursday, Dec. 5, at the D.C. Canegata Recreation Center on St. Croix.
No date has been set for a St. John meeting.
“DLCA invites neighbors and the public to present testimony either for and against the issuance/reissuance of the aforementioned licenses at the upcoming town hall meetings and at future scheduled public meetings prior to the issuance, revocation, suspension or denial of a business license” said DLCA Commissioner Richard Evangelista.
“Pursuant to Title 8 of the Virgin Islands Code Section 13(c), DLCA may refuse to grant an application for alcohol license upon finding, after public notice and adequate hearing, that such refusal is in the public interest,” he said.
