Wicomico Youth and Civic Center, Okayed for Alcohol

Wicomico Youth and Civic Center website

The Wicomico Youth and Civic Center in Salisbury will be allowed to serve alcohol.

The county Board of License Commissioners gave the okay for the facility to serve beer, wine and liquor at the events.

The Salisbury Daily Times reports that it had been thought that the original deed had prohibited the serving of alcohol at the Center but a recent legal investigation found that was not the case.  

County Executive Bob Culver has pushed for permission to serve alcohol and it could make the center more attractive to those looking for a site to host their events.

The paper adds that Charles Rousseau, manager of the center, said it will take some time to train the staff before the facility starts serving alcohol.
