In a recent government meeting, the board discussed the application for a Class D liquor license by the new owner of a local 7-Eleven, Daniel Kubo. The store, which previously held a full liquor license until June 2023, is seeking to reinstate its ability to sell hard liquor, in addition to beer and wine.

Kubo confirmed that the application has undergone a thorough screening process, with no issues identified by staff or the police department. The board noted that while there is currently a limit on the number of Class D licenses, they plan to address this through an ordinance to allow for the approval of Kubo's application.

Trustees unanimously supported the motion to prepare the necessary ordinance for the next village meeting, indicating a positive outlook for the 7-Eleven's liquor license reinstatement.

Additionally, the meeting featured a presentation from Michael Carmody, executive director and co-founder of Opportunity Knox, who expressed gratitude for the support received during challenging times. Further details on Opportunity Knox were not disclosed in the transcript.
