Package Liquor stores within the town of Woodbury will be coming soon now that the Woodbury Aldermen voted Tuesday night to approve an ordinance to establish liquor store regulations. A public hearing on the matter was held to open the meeting. Since no one from the audience spoke up, a motion was made and approved on second and final reading to set the regulations. The Aldermen also gave the green light for Mayor Harold Patrick to apply for a 2013 Community Development Block Grant in the amount of $500,000 for the purpose of water system rehabilitation and to provide $75,000.00 local matching funds from the Woodbury Water and Sewer Fund. The money will be used for water line replacements in the Short Mountain Area. Mayor Patrick was also given the approval to work out a deal with Mr. Charles Brandon on the purchase a a vacant lot on Water Street. Mr. Brandon owns several lots around that piece of property and would like to buy it from the town in order to offer the entire lot as a package deal. Mayor Patrick announced to the Aldermen that he appointed Dotty Duggin to serve on the Woodbury Planning Commission and also appointed Woodbury Fire Chief Bill Johnston, Woodbury Public Works Director Alan Paschal and Woodbury Police Chief Kevin Mooneyham to serve on the Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee. Cannon County received a grant which includes Auburntown and Woodbury to help better prepare for disasters. The forming of the committee is one of the stipulations in receiving that grant
