Youngstown municipal golf course seeking beer license
YOUNGSTOWN
If the city gets approval from the Ohio Division of Liquor Control, beer will be sold at the publicly owned Henry Stambaugh Golf Course on Gypsy Lane.
The nine-hole course on the city’s North Side is losing business because “leagues say, ‘We’re not coming if you don’t sell beer,’” said Robert Burke, the city’s park and recreation director.
A state liquor control agent will tour the course in two to three weeks and about seven or eight weeks later, the state will likely give the city a license to sell beer, Burke said.
“My goal is to allow golfers to drink on the whole [course], but it’s up to the state investigator,” he said.
Meanwhile, the city and the school district are finalizing agreements that would have them swap properties, said Anthony Donofrio, the city’s deputy law director.
No money would exchange hands, he said.
