News Nearby: Two Businesses Qualify for Package Store Licences in Loganville

Following an appeal hearing on four of the applications, officials with the city of Loganville announced Thursday that since only two applications for package stores licenses in the city, a lottery would not be necessary.

Only one application in Gwinnett County and one in Walton County met all the requirements of the license. The applicants were subsequently notified at the end of the hearing that their applications were successful. One contingent however, is the fact that the three applicants who had appeals denied still have 30 days to appeal those denials to the superior court of the relevant county - two were in Walton County and one was in Gwinnett County. The Walton County store would be on property on Highway 78 next to the Loganville American Legion Post 233.

Applications awarded were as follows:

In Walton County

Ronald R Camp - Camp Family Partnership, 4515 Atlanta Highway - Parcel 1

In Gwinnett County

Highway 78 Real Estate LLC on Property at 330 Athens Highway, Loganville

Initially the application from Highway 78 Real Estate LLC was denied. It was, however, the only one that was overturned on appeal. The application was submitted by Douglas ford and his father, Richard Ford. They were happy to get the news at the end of the hearing.

"Wow," Richard Ford said. "Wow."

"We are very happy - it has been a long process," Douglas Ford said. "This has been two years in the making."
